The ministry is calling on serious investors to inject new investments or expand existing operations in these targeted, promising sectors, which it is prioritizing heavily.
The selection of these specific opportunities was based on
several key criteria, including: availability and pricing of energy sources
(gas, electricity, mazut, coal), average monthly wages for workers,
technicians, and engineers, availability of primary resources and raw materials
in Egypt, availability of production technology and necessary factories for the
industry, local market demand for the products, and leveraging Egypt's
geographic location for industrial product distribution.
