The session featured presentations and panel discussions with speakers from private enterprises, academia, and municipalities to elucidate the best practices, challenges, and successes of working together, the preconceptions that each group has of the other, and pathways for successful partnerships.
Huge thanks to Rahim Kanji for his exceptional planning of the session, and Angela Murphy, Rania Hamza, and Elsayed Elbeshbisy for their teamwork and presentations delivered.
