Egypt is moving to streamline its business environment with the creation of a unified digital platform covering company incorporation, operations, licensing, utility connections, and liquidation. The initiative follows cabinet approval to assign Misr Investment for Development (MID), a company fully owned by the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI), to lead urgent projects under the authority’s digital transformation agenda.
The move is designed to simplify procedures for both local and foreign investors, reduce approval timelines, and centralize business-related services under a single digital interface. By consolidating processes that were previously fragmented across multiple entities, the platform aims to improve efficiency and transparency across investment activities nationwide.
The unified system will be delivered through the Egypt Digital Platform (منصة مصر الرقمية), enabling investors to obtain permits, licenses, and approvals through faster and more streamlined procedures. Officials say the initiative supports Egypt’s broader efforts to create a more investment-friendly environment and accelerate the digital transformation of public services linked to business operations.
The cabinet decision reflects a wider push to modernize how companies interact with government bodies, positioning digital infrastructure as a key enabler of economic growth and private sector development.
