The strategic partnership aligns with the shared vision and objectives of both parties. It reinforces O West’s commitment to offering an integrated urban living model that extends beyond urban development to foster a vibrant community that brings together creativity and innovation while supporting a thriving business environment. This complements Carerha’s strategy of providing an interactive environment that creates opportunities for learning, knowledge exchange, and networking, helping individuals and young professionals keep pace with the rapidly evolving job market while exploring new horizons for career development and entrepreneurship.
The agreement was signed by Eng. Hazem Helal, CEO of Orascom Development Egypt, and Jessy Radwan, Founder and CEO of Carerha, in the presence of senior executives and representatives from both companies.
Under the agreement, O West will host the summit on November 21, 2026.

This year’s edition will take place under the theme “FOBO – Fear of Becoming Obsolete,” highlighting the importance of continuous skills development amid the rapid changes shaping the business world. The summit’s agenda will feature a series of panel discussions and interactive activities, alongside dedicated spaces, including the “Practical Skills Lab,” “Mental and Professional Renewal Sessions,” and the “Entrepreneurs and Creatives Incubator.” These initiatives will enable participants to explore new ideas, develop their capabilities, and connect with experts and professionals from across various sectors.

For his part, Eng. Hazem Helal, CEO of Orascom Development Egypt, said: “We believe that building an integrated city goes beyond developing buildings and facilities to creating a vibrant community that brings together quality of life, opportunities for learning and connection, and the ability to achieve ambitions.
