Vision: The ENCC will become an instrument of
influence on government policies, business
climate, and public attitudes to make the nation’s
institutions more globally competitive. It seeks to
develop solutions for specific issues that will
increase the productivity of businesses and
workers.
Mission: To improve the quality of life for all
Egyptians, the ENCC will achieve its vision by
being an efficient and effective platform to bring
together stakeholders — business, government,
academia and civil society — in order to raise
awareness and advocate policies that enhance
competitiveness.
