UK to discusses ways to invest in Egypt’s renewable energy, health sectors

As Egypt endeavours to facilitate access to its economic market, the UK’s Department for International Trade (DIT) at the British Embassy in Cairo organised two rounds of the British Investors Forum (BIF) this week; the first focused on exploring investment opportunities in Egypt’s renewable energy sector and the second in its health sector.

The first round of the forum saw the participation of four companies and was attended by the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets’ (OFGEM) chairman Martin Cave, who is already cooperating with Egypt’s Energy Regulatory Authority (Egypt-ERA). Alongside embassy representatives, he discussed with investor companies how to access the Egyptian renewable energy sector. He also explained the improved business environment and some of the different investment opportunities.
