Tech Source and HOFT Academy Launch the First Dedicated Financial Planning & Analysis Hub for Companies in the Middle East

Tech Source GDS Global announced the signing of a strategic cooperation protocol with HOFT Academy to launch a specialized Financial Planning & Analysis Hub (FP&A Hub) for companies. The initiative aims to support the business ecosystem in Egypt and the wider Middle East by delivering professional solutions in financial analysis, strategic planning, and corporate valuation

The agreement was signed by Dr. Mohamed Abdelwahab El-Morsi, CEO of Tech Source GDS Global, and Dr. Mohamed El-Rouby, Founder and CEO of HOFT Academy, as part of a shared vision to provide advanced financial and advisory services to companies and institutions across the region

Launch of FP&A Hub

Under the protocol, the two parties will establish FP&A – Financial Planning & Analysis Hub, a specialized center that will provide comprehensive services in financial planning and analysis for companies, alongside strategic planning solutions, corporate valuation, and financial restructuring, in line with the latest international professional standards

The regional hub represents a specialized initiative aimed at bridging a clear gap in the financial and advisory services market in the region, where many companies in the Middle East still rely on traditional solutions or limited in-house teams for financial planning and strategic analysis.

Abdelwahab: A New Step Toward Advancing FP&A Services Commenting on the partnership, Mohamed Abdelwahab, CEO of Tech Source GDS Global, stated that launching the hub marks a significant step toward advancing financial planning and analysis services for companies across the region

He said

“Our collaboration with HOFT Academy reflects a shared vision to deliver professional FP&A services. Despite its critical importance in supporting corporate decision-making, this field remains relatively underdeveloped in the Middle East

Abdelwahab explained that the new hub will offer integrated solutions including advanced financial analysis, strategic planning, corporate valuation, as well as restructuring and institutional development services

He also noted that many companies do not necessarily need to build internal departments dedicated to financial planning and analysis, emphasizing that the hub will provide these services through a specialized team with extensive experience in regional markets

He added

“We have a strong team of experts capable of delivering these services with high professionalism across both the Egyptian and Gulf markets, leveraging the experience we have gained in those markets over the past years

El-Rouby: Bridging Academic Expertise with Practical Application

For his part, Mohamed El-Rouby, Founder and CEO of HOFT Academy, said the protocol represents an important step toward developing professional capabilities in financial analysis and strategic planning across the region

El-Rouby explained that the academy seeks, through this partnership, to integrate academic and training expertise with practical corporate applications, helping to prepare financial professionals capable of addressing the growing challenges of today’s business environment

He added

“Our goal is to build a comprehensive ecosystem for financial planning and analysis that enables companies to access advanced tools for improving financial resource management and making more precise strategic decisions

Supporting Business Growth in Egypt and the Gulf

The collaboration is expected to enhance the ability of companies in Egypt and the wider region to strengthen long-term financial planning and institutional performance, particularly amid rapid economic changes that require more sophisticated financial analysis tools

Both parties also plan to expand the services offered through the hub to Egyptian and Gulf markets, focusing on delivering specialized solutions in financial planning, restructuring, and corporate financial valuation

The launch of  FP&A Hub comes at a time when demand for advanced financial analysis services is growing, as companies seek to strengthen their ability to manage financial risks and improve decision-making efficiency in an increasingly volatile regional and global economic environment
