A delegation of 10 French companies is planning to visit Egypt on 18 November to look at potential investments in the new administrative capital and the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone), Al Borsa reports. The delegation, which will mostly be made up of construction and sustainable urban design firms, are expected to meet with Housing Minister Moustafa Madbouly.

Also coming next month is a delegation of some 30 Romanian companies in the industrial, agriculture, chemical, and transport industries, says the head of the Egyptian-Romanian Business Council Hassan El Shafei. The new capital and the SCZone are also hot items for the companies, he tells the newspaper. Railway investments appear to also be high on their agenda as they intend to meet with railway authorities, he says.
