Organised by the Swedish Embassy in Cairo, Ministry of Communications and Information Technology join a virtual workshop on Eco Governance with Swedish Experts

Broadening the bilateral cooperation between Sweden and Egypt, the Embassy of Sweden organized a virtual workshop on Eco Governance together with experts from the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and Smart City Sweden (Smart City Sweden is a state-funded platform that gathers best practice from Sweden within five areas: Climate, Energy and Environment, Mobility, Digitalization, Urban planning and Social sustainability).

The workshop follows the successful virtual delegation visit to Sweden in June 2020 by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. The interactive workshop will be showcasing Sweden’s collaborative approach to achieve common environmental and societal goals. It will also allow experts from both sides to share knowledge on problem-solving methods, innovative planning techniques and best practices from their respective fields.

It is worth mentioning that Sweden is a country with a strong history of innovation and entrepreneurial success. Last year, the European Innovation Scoreboard, an index published by the European Commission, ranked Sweden as the EU innovation leader for the third consecutive year. The Swedish Embassy in Cairo, the Swedish Trade and Invest Council and the Swedish Institute in Stockholm are working together to promote Sweden’s role as an innovation partner to Egypt.
