CAIRO, Sept 15, 2018 (MENA) - The Egyptian Franchise Development Association (EFDA), is due to host the meetings of the World Franchise Council, slated for November 17 to 19 in Cairo in conjunction with holding the 16th franchise exhibition in the same period. Tarek Tawfiq, the chairman of the EFDA, said on Saturday in a statement that such important event represents a great opportunity for the franchise grantors to present their trademarks and expand their activities by the participation in the exhibition in the presence of 46 entities representing thousands of franchise projects around the world. Under the theme "Social franchise and sustainable development", the fair will offer a group of franchise opportunities on the local and international levels and encourage investors to get a franchise through boosting investments and signing trade deals, Tawfiq added. The World Franchise Council (WFC) is a non-political association of more than 40 national franchise associations from around the world in addition to the European Union, Ibero-American Franchise Federation, and Asia-Pacific Franchise Confederation (APFC). Formed in 1994, it aims to promote the growth of franchising internationally, and facilitate best practice in franchise association management among its members. It also aims to foster and encourage the development of franchise associations in nations where such an association does not currently exist.
