Egypt's Ministry of Industry has announced the results of the 12th exceptional offering of serviced industrial land, following the closure of applications on 6 November. It allocated 100 land plots totaling 185,000 square meters across 16 governorates for new industrial projects in various sectors. The move supports investment and production localization efforts.
The Industrial Development Authority received around 209 investment applications through the Egypt Industrial Digital Platform for the offered plots. The allocations cover sectors such as food industries, engineering, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, textiles, and building materials.
Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development and Minister of Industry and Transport Kamel Al-Wazir stated that the offering coincided with the state's celebrations of the October Victory anniversary and represents a core pillar of the ministry's integrated industrial policy. He noted that it aims to ensure the sustainable provision of serviced industrial land to serious investors, supporting efforts to improve the investment climate, localize production chains, and position Egypt as a regional industrial hub.
The allocation process was conducted through a precise and transparent electronic preference system. For the first time, the platform allowed each investor to select a primary and an alternative plot, increasing their chances of securing suitable land. It also introduced a mechanism enabling investors to propose a price per square meter above the base price in case of ties.
A wide package of facilitations included offering land through ownership and usufruct systems at prices reflecting actual utility costs, reduced reservation down payments, elimination of financial guarantees and bid submission fees, and simplified feasibility study requirements. Applicants can review their status and the offering results via the madein.eg platform, receiving notifications by text message and email.
The ministry confirmed that the previous mechanism granting priority to serious investors who did not receive land in this round remains in place, provided they do not request a refund of their reservation payment and submit complete technical and financial studies. Al-Wazir concluded that industrial land offerings will continue regularly to support sustainable industrial development, deepen local manufacturing, and maintain a fair and transparent environment for local and foreign investors.
