The SCZone offers numerous investment opportunities in line with its strategic vision that covers 21 diverse industrial and logistics sectors, Gamal El-Dien noted.

Meanwhile, coordination with the Singapore Cooperation Agency (SCE) is underway to transfer Singapore's expertise in port management and operations using the latest smart port management systems.
Gamal El-Dien stressed the importance of this cooperation to support the digital transformation strategy for ports, which contributes to enhancing governance indicators and increasing operational efficiency.
