Join the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) in collaboration with the Egyptian British Chamber of Commerce (EBCC) on a trade mission designed to give insight into the different infrastructure opportunities in Egypt and the gateway it opens into the wider Middle East and Africa region across a number of different sectors.

 

The mission includes a two day visit to the Big 5 construct event which serves to bring together over 20,000 construction businesses, attracting over 300 exhibitors from 21 countries worldwide.

 

This is a huge opportunity for UK companies wishing to showcase their products and services, create brand awareness in Egypt and the African continent, generate business leads to international trade and foster networking opportunities in the infrastructure industry.

 

By joining this delegation, you will:

  • Attend two flagship events: the Big 5 Construct and Egypt Infrastructure and Water Expo.

  • Understand the support available from DBT in this important sector.

  • Take part in business matchmaking opportunities between international and local stakeholders, fostering strategic partnerships and collaborations.

  • Attend a networking event and cultural dinner, organised by the EBCC.

  • Meet with foreign governments in Egypt to learn about the future project pipeline, navigating regulations, and building trust.

  • Receive a follow up meeting with the Egyptian Ambassador to the UK upon return.

Why Egypt?

With its rapidly increasing population, advantageous geographic position and growing economy, Egypt is a market with a lot to offer. A number of UK companies are already doing business there, including BP, Shell, Vodafone, HSBC, GSK, AstraZeneca and Unilever.

As a result of economic reform in Egypt, foreign reserves have increased, unemployment has declined and there has been significant investment in infrastructure. Egypt’s government is planning a series of large-scale infrastructure projects, with plans to build new cities, improve transport infrastructure and develop better wastewater treatment and water desalination plants.
