Why "Gargub"?

- Because it will be the largest Egyptian commercial port on the Mediterranean Sea

- Because it will be the largest industrial and logistical zone in northern Egypt

- Because it will be next to the Dabaa nuclear plant

- Because the Egypt Express train runs along the northwest coast

- Because the Northwest Coast region was chosen to be home to 40 million Egyptians over the next 30 years

- Because around 40 global cities will be implemented around it starting with Al-Alamein, Ras Al-Hikma, Ajiba and Alam El-Rum

Projects worth hundreds of billions, a country in its own right will be built on the western gate of Egypt, smart cities, hospitals, schools, universities, high-speed train lines, towers and skyscrapers, luxury beaches and resorts, industrial cities, ports and airports... a new republic that needs a shield and a sword to protect it.

Launch of the national project to manufacture plasma derivatives

The manufacture of plasma derivatives is one of the most complex medical manufacturing processes, and there are no more than 3 companies to produce its raw materials worldwide.

The Egyptian project has become the largest and first blood derivatives factory in Africa and the Middle East with the participation of the French side, knowing that the plasma derivatives factory provides more than 33 preparations to contribute to the manufacture of medicines that the local market desperately needs.

Egypt's possession of the source of raw plasma is a national wealth, and the establishment of the factory saves Egypt from importing blood derivatives, which requires booking Egypt's share of plasma a year and a half before importing, in addition to that this factory will save a lot of time and money for the state.

The national campaign to introduce the project will be launched within days, provided that plasma collection begins in the donation centers prepared by the state in the Republic in the middle of next month.

Water treatment technologies​

A confidential information exchange agreement was signed between the Ministry of Military Production and the coalition companies composed of MPS. Aquatech and Avsecpro..

A memorandum of understanding for joint cooperation was also signed, which will result in the establishment of a new company that will be responsible for the design, construction, management and maintenance of water (desalination / treatment) plants, localization of technology, deepening the manufacture of its equipment and supplies, as well as cooperation in the field of research and development related to the treatment and desalination of all kinds of water, as both parties agreed. To exchange visits for specialists to closely view the technological capabilities and to identify aspects of cooperation on the ground.

Governmental measures to localize the manufacture of components for seawater desalination plants

Dr. Ahmed Kamali, Deputy Minister of Planning for Follow-up Affairs, said that the government has started taking steps to localize the manufacture of components for seawater desalination plants through coordination with the Ministry of Trade and Industry, which is currently preparing studies in this regard.

Kamali added, in statements to “Al Borsa” newspaper, on the sidelines of a press conference to announce the inclusion of 4 Egyptian initiatives on the United Nations platform, that a factory will be established for the components of desalination plants, which are expensive; Because of the reliance on imports, the Ministry of Military Production will have a role in the new factory to manufacture components.

Kamali indicated that the establishment of a factory for water desalination components will be similar to what was done in the localization of the train industry through a contribution between the government and the private sector.

He explained that the percentage of the external component in desalination plants reaches 60%, and the government aims to reduce it gradually, and a study is being conducted to determine the investment cost and the method of financing it.

The newspaper “Al Borsa” said that Egypt’s sovereign fund will be among the participants in the localization of the manufacture of components for desalination plants, in addition to the Engineering Authority of the Armed Forces.

Egypt has expanded its reliance on seawater desalination to provide drinking water to coastal cities, and has already established a number of large plants in Sinai and the Red Sea, among other measures aimed at dealing with the shortage of water per capita. These measures included reusing wastewater in agriculture and lining canals.

Tremendous! Love it. This will certainly help boost the medical field development in general for Egypt. With the new plan of them building many new hospitals, they'll end up needing a lot of that plasma as the stuff already is in high demand in Egypt and Africa as well. This will also enhance the desire of many students in the medical field to not only seek medical degrees and professions as doctors, but to stay in Egypt and work in many of these newly built hospitals that are stacked with state of the art medical equipment. It's one of those incredibly needed developments that has actually been a sort of Achille's heel for Egypt for many decades.

I remember back in the late 70's and early 80's where Schistosomiasis (better known as Bilharzia) was rampant among many young Egyptians and was actually an epidemic in the country for well over a decade where they were having a very difficult time getting it under control. It was only during the mid-90's that they finally came up with a vaccine and/or a special medication and actually eradicated the awful disease that caused so much misery and pain and deaths in the country. They did the same for Hepatitis as well. Now that disease is barely existent and the medication for it is much cheaper in Egypt than anywhere else in the world. That was also one of the best stories to come out in the 90's.

So seeing something like this where Egypt will be producing its own plasma instead of getting on the list a year and a half ahead of order time and pay incredible fees and costs for the 'substitute' blood, they can produce it in-country or in-house and not only save an abundance of money, but have it readily available in hospitals and trauma centers etc.

We know for a fact that many of the unfortunate deaths to Egyptian soldiers and especially Sa'aka units in fighting the cretins of ISIS in remote areas of Sinai lost their lives due to bleeding out too far away from any hospitals or makeshift military trauma and evac centers (which is a whole other issue in of itself) as well as specifically the lack of life-saving plasma. Many of those poor souls would've had a much better chance had that precious fluid been readily available to them, in field. Hopefully now this will change that scenario and save many lives ISA.

I share with you recent photos of Egypt’s Administrative Capital Stadium along with the Suez Canal Authority Stadium in Ismailia.

I struggle to understand the reason why Egypt is building more stadiums w/tracks rather than the pitch-only models that improve to spectator’s view, something South Africa, Algeria, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, Israel and Turkey opted for.

Egypt’s government is planning a port expansion in El Arish though advancing with the plan would mean the destruction of privately owned properties and the uncompensated takeover of lands.
