During the 2nd edition of the Women Professionals Summit (WPS), which kicked off on Sunday, March 12, at the Nile-Ritz Carlton Hotel, Dina Abdel Fattah, Founder of the Top 50 Women Forum, gave the opening speech.
Abdel Fattah stated that this year’s event stands for empowering women through their life journeys, whether they decided to start professional careers or become housewives, adding that Egyptian women are the core of society, and how crucial the role they play in supporting the country’s status regionally and globally.
In her speech, she expressed her pride in the forum’s major role in empowering women, saying: I am genuinely proud to witness the progress of the Top 50 Women Forum since its inception seven years ago; I did not expect this forum would encompass this huge number of influential and powerful, Egyptian women across all sectors.
Regarding the selection process of this year’s most influential women, Abdel Fattah mentioned that the forum received 120 nominees’ applications in the first stage, but ended up choosing only 30 winners.
She further explained that several ministers were monitoring this year’s selection process, which encouraged the forum to raise the bar and upgrade the standards of receiving the prestigious award.
