Social Initiative forum absolute support 

By supporting 45 Startups in 2021, SIF “Social initiative forum” is regarded as an absolute platform for those concerned with achieving Egypt’s vision for Sustainable Development. It was also an excellent opportunity to involve community leaders and proactive stakeholders in supporting new community-based initiatives, as well as giving fresh graduates and the student the opportunity to assist with entrepreneurial projects and maintain the environmental protection culture.

 Economy of Love and Social Initiative forum

Economy of love, have you heard this terminology? Let me tell you more about it. 

You may not have heard about that anywhere in Egypt except Heliopolis university for sustainable development, the first university that applied the economy of love in Egypt. Their high knowledge made them express that it is not only about gaining the highest possible profit when cooperating with business partners but more about a social and respectful way of dealing with each other. 

And the second place you are going to hear this terminology in is SEKEM as it is working together with Fairtrade International, which is an organization that aims to help producers in developing countries to make better trading conditions and promote sustainability.

After you get a little knowledge about the economy of love, let me take you back on tour in SIF- economic pillar. The Hub had six-panel discussions, the contributions of active members in the field of Entrepreneurship, Circular economy, Ethical finance, and what it means to be a responsible Entrepreneur!

The focus on sustainable development and the green economy is a pillar of the circular economy, it is inextricably linked to the economy of love, which means that the transparent economic system responsible consumers and producers can effectively protect nature ensuring that everyone along the supply chain is fairly compensated and protected from exploitation.

منتدى المبادرات الاجتماعية..  دعم مطلق 

بدعم 45 شركة ناشئة في عام 2021، يعتبر “منتدى المبادرة الاجتماعية” SIF بمثابة منصة مطلقة لأولئك المعنيين بتحقيق رؤية مصر للتنمية المستدامة. وكان أيضًا فرصة ممتازة لإشراك قادة المجتمع وأصحاب المصلحة الاستباقيين في دعم المبادرات المجتمعية الجديدة، فضلاً عن منح الخريجين الجدد والطالب الفرصة للمساعدة في مشاريع ريادة الأعمال والحفاظ على ثقافة حماية البيئة

منتدى اقتصاد المحبة والمبادرة الاجتماعية

اقتصاد المحبة..  هل سمعت هذا المصطلح؟ دعني أخبرك المزيد عنه

ربما لم تسمع عن ذلك في أي مكان في مصر باستثناء جامعة هليوبوليس للتنمية المستدامة، أول جامعة طبقت اقتصاد المحبة في مصر، فمعرفتهم العالية جعلتهم يعبرون عن الاقتصاد بكونه لا يتعلق فقط بكسب أعلى ربح ممكن عند التعاون مع شركاء الأعمال، ولكن يتعلق أكثر بطريقة اجتماعية ومحترمة في التعامل مع بعضهم البعض

والمكان الثاني الذي ستستمع فيه إلى هذه المصطلحات هو شركة سيكم للتنمية حيث تعمل جنبًا إلى جنب مع مؤسسة التجارة العادلة العالمية، وهي منظمة تهدف إلى مساعدة المنتجين في البلدان النامية على تهيئة ظروف تجارية أفضل وتعزيز الاستدامة

منتدى المبادرات الاجتماعية والتجارة العادلة

التجارة العادلة هي شراكة تجارية، تقوم على الحوار والشفافية والاحترام، وتسعى إلى قدر أكبر من المساواة في التجارة الدولية، وقد طبق الحرم الجامعي الأخضر مفاهيمه بنجاح في منتدى المبادرات المجتمعية الذي يضم العديد من رواد الأعمال والشركات الناشئة في مصر، لدعم جيل الشباب في خلق سوق عمل أخلاقي

منتدى المبادرة الاجتماعية والركيزة الاقتصادية

from the market at social initiative forum

بعد أن عرفت القليل عن اقتصاد المحبة، دعني أخذك في جولة في منتدى المبادرات الاجتماعية من خلال المحور الاقتصادي، عقد المنتدى مناقشات من ست جلسات ومساهمات الأعضاء النشطين في مجال ريادة الأعمال، والاقتصاد الدائري، والتمويل الأخلاقي، وماذا يعني أن تكون رائد أعمال مسؤول

التركيز على التنمية المستدامة والاقتصاد الأخضر هو أحد أعمدة الاقتصاد الدائري، وهو مرتبط بشكل لا ينفصم باقتصاد المحبة، مما يعني أن النظام الاقتصادي الشفاف للمستهلكين والمنتجين المسؤولين يمكنهم حماية الطبيعة بشكل فعال، مما يضمن أن الجميع على طول سلسلة التوريد تعويض عادل وحمايته من الاستغلال

هل أجابنا على السؤال؟

أجاب منتدى المبادرات المجتمعية على العديد من الأسئلة من خلال ورش العمل مثل: ماذا يعني أن تكون رائد أعمال مسؤول؟ هل هناك استراتيجية محددة أم أنها ممارسة يومية؟ كيف يمكنك تحقيق النجاح دون الإضرار ببيئتك؟ ما هو تأثيرك الإيجابي؟ كيف يمكن أن يكون لك تأثير اجتماعي إيجابي؟ كيف يمكنهم الحفاظ على أعمالهم وكيف يمكنهم إحداث تأثير؟

بعد أن تكونت لديك الصورة عن منتدى المبادرات المجتمعية، أراهن أنك ستحجز مقعدًا الآن للعام المقبل. لذا أراك هناك

MED-WET Partners Participate in Fundão Agricultural Innovation Fair, October 2024, Portugal

[:en] The MED-WET partners, including the team from Heliopolis University for Sustainable Development, had the opportunity to showcase their excellent results at the Fundão Agricultural Innovation Fair, held during (9-13) October 2024 in Portugal. This event provided a wonderful platform to widely share the project’s advancements, exchange insights, and engage with various international stakeholders in the water, energy and agricultural sectors. During the fair, the HUSD team actively participated in a parallel conference, where they delivered in-depth presentations and speech covering the MED-WET’s goals, achievements, and importance in advancing sustainable water management for climate-resilient agriculture among the rural and desert communities. At the heart of their presence was the MED-WET stand, which attracted significant attention of the majority of participants. It served as a focal point for information dissemination, providing an interactive space where farmers, agricultural experts, policymakers, and researchers could learn more about the project’s innovative approaches to water conservation and irrigation technology in arid regions. The stand featured detailed explanations of the project’s outcomes, including key findings and 3-D prototypes of the three technologies “Constructed Wetlands in Sekem El-Wahat, Solar energy-driven desalination for greenhouse agriculture in Malta and the SLECI Irrigation technology in Portugal and Morocco”. This obviously proven the MED-WET’s success in realizing efficient water management practices that contributed to sustainable farming and addressed water scarcity challenges in the Mediterranean region. Overall, the Fundão Agricultural Innovation Fair was a highly productive experience for all participants. It allowed the MED-WET team to expand their network, raise awareness about the critical issue of water scarcity, and underscore the project’s role in promoting sustainable agricultural practices across the Mediterranean region. The fair highlighted the increasing importance of collaborative efforts in addressing water conservation and irrigation challenges in agriculture, reinforcing the relevance of the MED-WET initiative.

[:en]Showcasing the Med-Wet Project: Partners Participated in the Euro-Mediterranean Innovation Marketplace in Cairo[:]

[:en] One of the Heliopolis University for Sustainable Development’s successful research projects called “MED-WET” is selected among the top successful and highest performing 20 EU–Prima projects worldwide this year 2024. An international conference and fair was conducted on 3 Oct., 2024 in Cairo organized by Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) in association with the European Commission (EC) office in Cairo. In which, a team from HUSD and MED-WET’s partner countries from Malta and Germany presented the key results of the MED-WET project, including the successfully developed three technologies (Constructed Wetlands in Sekem El-Wahat, Solar energy-driven desalination for greenhouse agriculture in Malta and the SLECI Irrigation technology in Portugal and Morocco). That mega event allowed HUSD to showcase the innovative solution of the low-cost, low-energy and nature-based “Instream Constructed Wetland” model addressing water challenges and climate change in the Mediterranean. Such innovations aim to conserve water, improve irrigation efficiency and tackle water scarcity (climate-resilient agriculture). The marketplace offered meaningful exchanges with international partners. HUSD’s team discussed potential collaborations with stakeholders who are interested in new research projects, which will help further amplify the impact of the Med-Wet project. The conversations done with promising future partners underscored the importance of cross-border cooperation and innovation in addressing complex environmental challenges, on the top of them “water scarcity and climate change”.
