Newsletter Issue #2: Why Egypt Is the Rising Star of Industrial Investment in 2026

How Orascom Industrial Parks Is Supporting Egypt’s Industrial Growth and Global Competitiveness

Egypt emerged as a leading industrial investment destination in 2025, supported by large-scale infrastructure development, strategic industrial zones, competitive incentives, and growing participation from local and international investors. This momentum positions the country as a regional manufacturing and export hub, strengthening economic resilience, attracting foreign direct investment, and accelerating the transition toward higher-value, future-ready industries.

Orascom Industrial Parks (Orascom IP) continues to support Egypt’s growing position as a leading destination for industrial investment as the country enters 2026 with strong momentum across manufacturing, logistics, and export-oriented industries.

Orascom IP is advancing this growth by developing and operating Egypt’s first privately owned industrial parks, with a landbank of over 15 million square meters across Ain Sokhna and Abu Rawash (Giza). Its flagship Sokhna Industrial Development Complex (SIDC) is strategically located within the Suez Canal Economic Zone, around 60 kilometers south of the Suez Canal, where road links connect Greater Cairo, the Red Sea ports, and broader regional markets.

These locations offer investors immediate access to national and international supply chains, reliable infrastructure, and integrated services, making them attractive hubs for established manufacturers and new ventures alike. Throughout its industrial parks, Orascom IP is enabling manufacturers to benefit from modern utilities, streamlined operations, and direct market access, all of which strengthen Egypt’s investment appeal.

Orascom IP’s developments also support a wide range of industries, from labor-intensive manufacturing to advanced sectors seeking value-added production. Providing fully serviced land and supportive industrial ecosystems allows the company to help partners move efficiently from planning to production while contributing to job creation and economic resilience.

“Egypt’s rise as a regional industrial hub reflects the combined efforts of the government and the private sector to create a competitive and investment-friendly environment,” stated Eng. Amr El Batrik, CEO of Orascom IP. “At Orascom Industrial Parks, we are focused on developing industrial communities that support long-term growth, enable exports, and create sustainable employment opportunities.”

As Egypt attracts increasing industrial investment in 2026, Orascom IP remains committed to building well-connected, investor-ready locations that strengthen competitiveness and contribute to the country’s long-term economic development.
