Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, and Bahrain have signed 12 agreements for 9 integrated industrial projects with a total investment exceeding $2bn in the sectors of agriculture, medicine, minerals, chemicals, and electrical cars, during the third meeting of the Higher Committee for Integrated Industrial Partnership for Sustainable Economic Development in Amman, Jordan.

It is worth noting that the “CFC” School of Applied Sciences was established next to the factory land, which will begin in September of this year to receive middle school students in order to prepare technical cadres for the benefit of the company.

Emirates Global Aluminum (EGA) also announced an investment of $200m to establish a metal silicon plant in the UAE with a production capacity of 55,000 tonnes per year. An agreement of understanding and cooperation was signed to supply raw silica with Manaseer Group from Jordan.

The Emirati company “Global Pharma” also entered into a technology transfer partnership with the Egyptian “Nerhadu” company to work on developing advanced manufacturing technology for the production of medicines and nutritional supplements in the UAE, in addition to concluding a technology transfer partnership with two Jordanian companies: Safi Pharma Pharmaceutical Industries, in the field of research and development of value-added medicines and to expand manufacturing and production, with a total investment value of the two projects amounting to $60m, and a production capacity of 5 million packages annually for all products. The project is scheduled to be completed and the products launched by the end of 2023.
