Davos: SiltaNews – News Desk
President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has urged global investors to capitalize on the wide range of investment opportunities available in Egypt, highlighting attractive incentives across key sectors, including renewable energy and automotive manufacturing. El-Sisi made the remarks during a special dialogue session at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Wednesday, attended by heads of state and senior international officials, including Libyan Presidential Council President Mohamed Menfi and Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam.
Addressing participants, El-Sisi pointed in particular to opportunities in new and renewable energy projects, the automotive industry, including electric vehicles, as well as communications and IT, especially AI applications. The president invited investors to benefit from Egypt’s modern infrastructure, developed over recent years in roads, transportation, telecommunications, logistics, and free zones.
He singled out the Suez Canal Economic Zone as a strategic platform for global trade and investment. El-Sisi emphasized that investing in Egypt offers advantages beyond access to the domestic market, citing the country’s extensive network of free trade agreements across Africa and the Arab world, which enables investors to reach large regional markets and expand internationally. The president reaffirmed Egypt’s continued commitment to regional and international security and stability, as well as sustainable economic growth.
He also welcomed the announcement of a dedicated business forum on Egypt to be held later this year under his patronage, affirming coordination to ensure the event’s success. El-Sisi arrived in Davos yesterday to participate in the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting 2026, which is being held from January 19 to 23, under the theme “A Spirit of Dialogue.” The forum’s agenda includes a series of events bringing together world leaders, heads of international and regional organizations, and representatives of major private-sector institutions.
Discussions focus on strengthening international cooperation, supporting global prosperity pathways, expanding the use of technology and innovation as drivers of growth, and investing in human capital. On the sidelines of the forum, El-Sisi is scheduled to meet US President Donald Trump to discuss the latest regional and international developments of mutual interest. The two leaders are expected to explore ways to enhance cooperation and coordination between Egypt and the US, in a manner that serves the interests of both countries and supports regional and international stability.
