Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi on Monday reviewed the implementation of Egypt's National Industrial Strategy 2026-2030 during a meeting with Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and Minister of Industry Khaled Hashem.
The strategy aims to raise non-oil exports to $100bn and strengthen Egypt’s position as a regional manufacturing hub. It identifies seven priority industries: ready-made garments, textiles, food processing, pharmaceuticals, automotive manufacturing, and the electrical, engineering, and electronics industries.
Al-Sisi directed that every component be implemented according to a clear timetable and stressed deeper integration into global value chains. The meeting also reviewed plans to expand domestic automotive manufacturing and localise vehicle technologies, including electric vehicle production.
The discussion covered a roadmap for localising the steel industry and the “Industry Solar” initiative to install rooftop solar systems at around 7,000 factories. Minister Khaled Hashem presented the Egyptian Initiative for African Industrial Integration, aligned with the African Union’s Agenda 2063.
