Industrial Zone · Egypt
About the project
The Russian Industrial Zone in Egypt is being created as a site for localising Russian manufacturing in the Suez Canal Economic Zone — close to port infrastructure and the markets of Egypt, Africa and the Middle East.
Russia and Egypt signed the intergovernmental agreement establishing the industrial zone in 2018. In May 2025, SCZONE and the Russian project company fixed the commercial terms for long-term use of the site.
Design and construction are planned for 2026–2029.
The zone's 50-hectare site is located in the north-eastern part of the Suez Canal Economic Zone and is connected to the port of Ain Sokhna. This location combines an industrial site, maritime logistics and access to Egypt's domestic market.
SCZONE includes four industrial zones and six seaports and positions the territory as a hub between Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
In 2026, The Crystal Fund was presented to the Egyptian side as the integrated development institution for the Russian Industrial Zone in Egypt. An agreement with the Ministry of Industry and Trade established the Fund as the single window for investors, developers and future residents.
The aim is to connect initial project assessment, location planning, stakeholder coordination and launch support into one clear route.
Public materials identify machinery, metallurgy and metalworking, radio electronics, electrical equipment, construction materials, pharmaceuticals and medical technology, chemicals and petrochemicals, timber processing and food production.
The project team develops an individual location scenario with parameters for the site, infrastructure and launch.
