MOUNT Communication served as the official PR & Communication Partner for the event. This European edition marks the platform's transformation from a regional platform into a global player in career development, building on its proven track record in Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

'At a time when 60% of companies in our region struggle to find qualified talent, and nearly 25% of youth remain unemployed, we see this as a critical gap that must be bridged through sustained cross-market collaboration,' Alaa Eldin noted. The event welcomed a distinguished lineup of speakers and experts, including Neil Attard, Director of Digital Literacy and Transversal Skills at the Ministry for Education, and Michelle Vassallo Pulis, Senior Manager, People & Purpose at Deloitte.
