Originally incepted in 1849 in the United Kingdom, EY (in full: Ernst & Young) is one of the four largest professional services firms in the world. Since its early MENA beginnings in 1923, when EY setup its first regional office in Cairo, the firm has grown into a powerhouse. Commenting on the performance, Abdulaziz Al-Sowailim, EY MENA Chairman and CEO, said, “I am very proud of everything our people have achieved over the past 100 years in MENA, and most especially this year. Launched in 2019 in the MENA region, EY Ripples focuses on three distinct areas: supporting the next generation workforce, working with impact entrepreneurs, and accelerating environmental sustainability. Last week, EY announced a major multi-year $1.4 billion investment in artificial intelligence, which includes the launch of its own proprietary platform EY.ai.
