Sectors

In our target countries agriculture adds 7-13% to the GDP and with exception of Egypt more than half of the land is agricultural land. The governments stimulate agriculture and the food industry as part of regional development and food security.

In our target countries tourism is an important source of income (10-20% GDP), but since 2011 the number of tourists has dropped (except in Morocco) due to terrorism concerns. The combination of public support, climate, culture and price may revive the sector.

Among our target countries Egypt imports a lot of electronics, while Tunisia produces and exports large quantities. The countries have a lot of unrealized potential regarding innovation and electronics which the governments tries to realize with different incentives.

Pollution, water scarcity and the ubiquitous sun and wind in our target countries underline the necessity and potential of sustainable solutions. For this reason the governments promote e.g. solar and wind projects and the development of green technology.

Especially Morocco and Tunisia produce large quantities textile and leather products for the European market, while Egypt produces and processes an important and highly valued commodity: cotton. The governments promote the sector as source of income and jobs.

Apart from the above-mentioned promising sectors other sectors with growth potential are promoted in our target countries through different administrative, financial and fiscal incentives for foreign investors and companies.
