Mohamed Ibrahim takes the helm at Golden Triangle Economic Zone Authority

Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim (LinkedIn) was appointed chairman of the General Authority for the Golden Triangle Economic Zone for a one-year term, effective 14 August, under a presidential decree announced by the authority. Ibrahim steps up from the deputy chairman role, which he had held since April.

Ibrahim brings more than two decades of experience in economic diplomacy, trade, investment, and government. His career includes representing Egypt in World Trade Organization negotiations in Geneva, serving at the commercial office of the Egyptian Embassy in London, and holding senior posts at the Trade and Industry Ministry and the Egyptian Commercial Service. He headed Egypt’s commercial office in Tokyo between 2021 and 2025, before becoming director of the Commercial Service’s technical office in June 2025.

REMEMBER- Ibrahim takes the helm shortly after the authority signed its first industrial-developer agreement. Elsewedy Industrial Development inked a contract late last month to develop a 6 mn sqm industrial and logistics zone in Safaga over three phases, targeting mining, mineral-based manufacturing, logistics, and export-oriented industries.
