Major General Mokhtar Abdel Latif, head of AOI, emphasised the importance of leveraging national manufacturing capabilities in line with Egypt’s Vision 2030 for sustainable development.
The event, hosted at the Digital Manufacturing Center, gathered officials from the ministries of housing, transport, electricity, petroleum, and public enterprises. Attendees were given a tour of the centre and reviewed its production capacity in water pumps and other industrial components.
Public Enterprises Minister Mohamed Shimi said adopting advanced manufacturing is vital to reducing imports and increasing competitiveness. Deputy Housing Minister Sayed Ismail said that supporting local production, especially of electromechanical parts for water and sanitation projects, aligns with Egypt’s push to expand local markets and boost exports to Africa and the Gulf.
