The Ministry of Industry has launched a unified digital platform offering five services to support manufacturers, facilitate industrial investment and boost local production.
The platform provides digital services covering the various stages of an industrial investment project, from developing an initial idea and preparing a feasibility study to establishing and operating a factory, expanding production, marketing products and accessing new domestic and international markets.
The initiative aims to improve the industrial investment climate and enhance the competitiveness of Egyptian products.
The platform features a complaints management service that introduces binding timeframes for responding to manufacturers’ complaints, in coordination with the relevant ministries and government agencies.
The ministry has also established a follow-up committee comprising relevant officials that meets weekly to review unresolved complaints and cases requiring reconsideration, with the aim of expediting decisions and ensuring impartiality and transparency.
The platform includes a digital database of locally available production inputs, allowing factories to list the materials and components they supply for use by other industrial establishments.
Access is limited to officially registered factories.
The ministry plans to provide more specialised feasibility studies in co-operation with the Industrial Modernisation Centre, offering investors additional support in evaluating proposed industrial projects.
