Editor’s Note: The 925 Story

If you’re reading this, then it means that we’ve made it.

925, or Nine to Five, doesn’t solely refer to the time working professionals spend perfecting their craft, but a philosophy that we desperately want to inject into the past, present and future Egyptian generations. To put it simply, 925 is a synonym for work.

Egypt is, undisputedly, known for its many talents. Dating back to when 925 was merely just in the idea phase, “talents” served as one of the main keywords that helped drive our thoughts, dreams and beliefs – which ultimately brought life into our platform.

Every inspirational story, every opportunity looking for a space to grow, every dreamer that dared to swim against the current; those exactly were the true heroes behind our vision. Our aim is, and always will be, to showcase their never-before-seen narratives.

Driven by passion, our extraordinary league of 925ers have been working around the clock for the past months to provide our readers with inspirational content that delves deep into different workplaces, universities and so much more.

The first online magazine of its kind in the region, our unique business model has been carefully designed to become a hub where CEOs of multinational companies and interns at early-age startups can share and engage with fresh ideas. 925 will be covering everything from office fashion and the entrepreneurial revolution, to necessary dialogues and habits at the workplace, what to do after working hours and so much more.

Get ready for the untold stories of Egypt’s workforce and beyond. Get ready for 925.
