The Ministry of Industry has announced the results of the 11th offering of industrial land, conducted entirely through the Egypt Digital Industrial Platform between 1 and 11 September 2025. In this round, 253 land plots were allocated to committed investors who met all requirements and achieved the highest evaluation scores, covering a total area of around 545,000 sqm. The allocations were selected from 999 investment applications submitted through the platform, which were thoroughly assessed—technically and financially—by the Industrial Development Authority (IDA) in line with approved standards and criteria. In cases where multiple applications for the same plot received equal scores, the final decision was made through a transparent electronic draw on the platform, without human intervention—reinforcing investor confidence in the fairness and impartiality of the allocation process. Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development and Minister of Industry and Transport Kamel Al-Wazir has directed that procedures for allocating serviced industrial lands be accelerated and the time required for allocation decisions reduced. The 11th offering included 1,386 serviced industrial land plots across 23 governorates in 35 industrial zones and cities, with sizes ranging from 240 sqm to 500,000 sqm, offered under both ownership and usufruct systems to suit different activities. The ministry noted that, as with previous rounds, investors whose technical and financial studies were approved but who did not secure land in this round will be given priority consideration in the next offering, provided they do not withdraw their reservation deposit. It emphasised that the entire application and allocation process was conducted electronically via the Egypt Digital Industrial Platform, ensuring neutrality, transparency, and equal opportunities. The IDA's announcement of the results within two weeks of the close of the offering—consistent with previous rounds—was highlighted as part of ongoing efforts to speed up review, evaluation, and allocation procedures. This, the ministry said, enables serious investors to obtain land and launch projects more quickly, supporting the state's drive to accelerate development. The ministry further revealed that the next offering will open on 1 December under a quarterly policy designed to provide a sustainable supply of serviced industrial land. It stressed that successive offerings form a core pillar of the National Industrial Strategy, which seeks to expand the industrial base, deepen local manufacturing, localise value chains, increase the local component, and boost exports by enhancing the competitiveness of Egyptian products.
