Boosting Bilateral Ties: Egypt and Japan Collaborate for Youth-Led Development
In a significant move towards strengthening bilateral relations, Bassel Rahmy, CEO of Egypt’s Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development Agency (MSMEDA), recently engaged in a promising meeting with Yu Ebisawa, the newly appointed Resident Representative of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in Egypt. This meeting, held on July 27, 2025, focused on expanding cooperation to support youth-led industrial projects in Egypt—a crucial step considering the nation’s vibrant young population and the increasing global emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship.
The discussion underscored Egypt’s commitment to fostering a dynamic business environment, especially for emerging enterprises. Rahmy highlighted the potential for Egyptian youth to lead the way in industrial development, leveraging their creativity and drive to contribute significantly to the economy. JICA’s support in this venture is invaluable, providing technical assistance, funding, and best practices from Japan’s rich experience in industrialization and technology transfer.
This initiative aligns seamlessly with Egypt’s Vision 2030, which emphasizes sustainable economic growth and job creation, particularly through the empowerment of young people. With over 60% of the Egyptian population under the age of 30, the collaboration with JICA presents a unique opportunity to harness this demographic’s potential, driving innovation and entrepreneurship within the industrial sector.
In addition to economic benefits, this partnership could foster cultural exchange, promoting understanding and cooperation between the two nations. Japan’s robust industrial strategies and Egypt’s youthful enthusiasm could create a recipe for success that not only stimulates local economies but also enhances global competitiveness.
As we move forward, the impact of this collaboration will undoubtedly serve as a pivotal example of how international partnerships can yield positive outcomes for youth development and industrial growth. With both countries committed to nurturing this partnership, the future looks promising for budding entrepreneurs in Egypt.
For those interested in exploring more about this exchange and its implications, stay tuned as we follow the progress of this partnership. The journey of transforming ideas into actionable projects has just begun, and the possibilities are endless!
