The initiative aligns with President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi's directives to support the industrial sector and promote local manufacturing.
The units will be available for allocation from 6 to 20 October 2025 on Egypt's Digital Industrial Platform (http://www.madein.eg).
Minister of Industry and Transport Kamel El-Wazir stated that the units range in size from 48 to 792 square metres and cater to diverse industries, including engineering, chemicals, food, textiles, furniture, ready-made garments, metal, plastics, and pharmaceuticals.
The move aims to provide small and micro enterprises with an affordable and accessible opportunity to establish their businesses.
The minister added that the initiative includes several incentives for entrepreneurs, such as access to low-interest financing (five percent reduction) and up to 100 percent financing for ownership units, in collaboration with several banks.
For rental agreements, businesses can defer rent payments for up to nine months.
Furthermore, application fees and submission costs have been waived, and the price of the bid document has been reduced to EGP 500.
Applicants will also have access to programmes from the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency, which provide financing for machinery and production lines, along with technical and marketing support.
The units are distributed across several governorates, including seven units at the Biyad Al-Arab complex in Beni Suef, 23 units at the West Gerja complex in Sohag, five units at the Hurghada complex in the Red Sea, and 85 units at the How complex in Qena.
Other locations include Assiut, Minya, Fayoum, Luxor, Alexandria, and Aswan, offering a combination of ownership and rental options. The Aswan complex, in particular, offers 149 units under both ownership and rental systems.
Applications can be completed entirely online through the Digital Industrial Egypt Platform. Applicants must register, select their preferred units, submit a feasibility study, and make a reservation deposit.
The Industrial Development Authority will review applications after the deadline and select winners based on specific criteria, ensuring transparency and fairness.
Priority will be given to expansion requests from existing projects within the same complex, with additional consideration for investors who make immediate payments for the units.
The initiative is part of Egypt’s broader efforts to drive industrial growth and provide entrepreneurs with the resources needed to succeed in a rapidly developing economy.
