\ud83c\udf43 Good afternoon, friends, and welcome back.<\/strong> With the spring breeze upon us, one may feel the need to be surrounded by nature \u2014 or as folks on Reddit would say, touch some grass. In that spirit, we sat down with <\/strong>Karim Harouny,<\/strong> CEO of Egypt\u2019s first and largest online garden center, Mashtal, to talk about all things green, business, and AI.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In today\u2019s issue, we also take a look at the less-than-stellar sequel to Netflix\u2019s Beef<\/strong>, bring you up to speed on the latest happenings in the world of football, recommend your next family outing, and more. Up first, the news\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY TODAY-<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccd Snackmaker Edita secured a EGP 600 mn, seven-year loan to <\/strong>add new production lines and ramp up capacity<\/strong>, according to a bourse filing (pdf)<\/a>. This signals that Edita is moving to capitalize on its recent intellectual property Ws.<\/p>\n

Edita has already set a rapid pace for growth<\/strong>, beginning with its EGP 320 mn acquisition of production machinery and four production lines in <\/a>October 2025<\/a><\/a>, followed by a January <\/a>2026 agreement<\/a> with Hostess Brands to expand ownership of the HTT brands across 45+ African markets.<\/p>\n

^^ We\u2019ll have more on this story in tomorrow\u2019s edition of EnterpriseAM. <\/p>\n

It's official. MENA+ is live.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our new regional flagship covers the flows of capital, people, and ideas across the Middle East \u2014 and beyond it.<\/strong> MENA+ covers AI and tech \u2014 and geopolitics, the war for talent, which BSD is on top (and who's gunning for them), the changing energy economy, new corridors to India and China, and much, much more.<\/p>\n

What's with the \"+\" in MENA+? <\/strong>We think one of the most powerful stories in the region is the *export* of ideas and capital not just to neighboring regions (Asia, the Stans) but to international financial centers. MENA countries are jockeying for position in the new global economy now taking shape, and we're going to shape that conversation.<\/p>\n
