Within the framework of Egypt’s strategy aimed at gradually transitioning to a green economy, MSMEDA seeks to implement the state’s directives to integrate the environmental dimension into various fields, economic activities, and projects, the CEO of MSMEDA added.
Rahmy praised the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the agency and the East Port Said Development Company, which aims to create the necessary infrastructure for the growth of the small enterprise sector.
