The measure divided activities into subsectors, ranging from electricity and renewable energy to education and sports. Depending on the activity segment and region, projects are required to be labor-intensive, renewable energy-based, or export-oriented to receive incentives.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>General Authority for Investment and Free Zones<\/strong> (GAFI) will coordinate with the ministries and entities responsible for the subsectors, the works in each location, and activities to identify projects to receive additional incentives. The goal is for these business initiatives to help Egypt&#8217;s economic development plan with the local growth of the <strong>green economy<\/strong>, advanced technology, <strong>artificial intelligence<\/strong>, innovation, and <strong>scientific research<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The decrees also provide for speeding up services to investors. Government entities required to issue approvals, authorizations, or licenses for new investments will have 20 working days from the application to deliver services.
