Industry ministry allocates 185,000 sqm for new industrial projects in 16 governorates

The Ministry of Industry has announced the results of the 12th exceptional offering of serviced industrial land, following the closure of applications on 6 November. The Industrial Development Authority received around 209 investment applications through the Egypt Industrial Digital Platform for the plots on offer.

The round resulted in the allocation of 100 land plots for new industrial projects across 16 governorates, covering a total of 185,000 sqm. The projects span several sectors, including food industries, engineering, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, textiles and building materials.

Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development and Minister of Industry and Transport Kamel Al-Wazir said the offering coincided with the state’s celebrations of the anniversary of the October Victory. He noted that it represents a core pillar of the ministry’s integrated industrial policy, which aims to ensure the sustainable provision of serviced industrial land to serious investors—supporting national efforts to improve the investment climate, localise production chains and position Egypt as a regional industrial hub.

Al-Wazir explained that the allocation process was conducted through a precise and transparent electronic preference system. For the first time, the platform allowed each investor to select both a primary and an alternative plot, increasing their chances of securing suitable land.
