The companies are the National Egyptian Railway Industries Company (NERIC), Hassan Allam Strategic Warehouses company in Luxor, NILOS for housing and hotel services, Ace Links, and EnviroProcess for industries and waste recycling.

NERIC will establish a factory for railroad, subway, and express train equipment in the Suez Canal Zone for EGP 3.6 billion.

Meanwhile, Hassam Allam Strategic Warehouses in Luxor will build a modern warehouse using the latest technologies, investing EGP 1.5 billion.

Furthermore, NILOS companies plan a residential project on the Nile corniche costing EGP 463.5 million.

ACE Links will construct a food supplies factory worth EGP 134.6 million.

In addition, EnviroProcess in Minya's industrial zone will produce alternative fuel and fibres from waste, valued at EGP 74 million.

The golden licences, also known as "single approval licences," were introduced as part of the 2017 investment law and were activated in September 2022.

These licences allow investors to acquire or lease land and operate enterprises on it without requiring further government approvals.
