Ethmar Round Table: An Ideal Strategic Platform That Reshapes the Relationship between Developers and Consultants

In an exclusive interview, Eng. Mohamed Al-Husseini, founder and CEO of Ethmar Real Estate and Investment Events Company in Egypt and the Arab world, shared the details of the first edition of the Ethmar Round Table event, set to take place on May 14, 2025, at the Presidential Hall of the Manara International Conference Center. The event will be attended by top developers and consultants from Egypt and the Gulf countries.

What is the core idea behind Ethmar Round Table?

Al-Husseini explains: The event is a response to a clear and pressing need in the real estate market, which is the creation of a real, effective space that brings together developers and consultants and facilitates direct dialogue on shared challenges and possible opportunities. We chose to hold the event around a round table to emphasize the concept of horizontal integration and communication, rather than a hierarchical approach between the parties.

Who are the key attendees?

Al-Husseini adds: We have invited top consultants and developers from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, along with a distinguished group of speakers. Eng. Fathallah Fawzi, the non-executive chairman of Ethmar, will coordinate the session. We expect significant participation from prominent industry figures.

What are the main discussion topics during the day?

The event will address crucial issues that affect the real estate development industry, such as the integration of specialized consulting, the challenges between developers and consultants, the role of innovation, pricing mechanisms for services, in addition to showcasing successful international experiences. We also aim to propose sustainable communication platforms instead of relying solely on temporary events.

What added value does the event bring?

Simply put, we want to transform the conversation from theoretical to practical. This event opens new doors for partnership and creates a real circle of influence. Our goal is to enhance the Egyptian market’s ability to leverage international experiences and improve the quality of local projects.

Who is behind this event?

We are proud to have the Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade as the official sponsor of the event, with primary support from RECO and Profit as the technology sponsor. This underscores the importance of integrating real estate technology into the broader industry landscape.

What does the event program look like?

The day will begin with an official recognition ceremony and opening remarks from the speakers, followed by an open dialogue between Gulf-based speakers and their Egyptian counterparts. The event will also include media coverage.

Any final words?

We hope this event will serve as a launching point for real transformations in the relationship between developers and consultants. Success begins with dialogue, and we are providing the ideal platform, both in form and content.
