As part of the initiative to create one million job opportunities for youth in Libya's industrial zones, the Libyan Cooperative Company for Industrial Zones Management is embarking on industrial development and digital transformation through strategic partnerships, commissioned by Dr. Adel Al-Bouaishi.
In a move that reflects its vision of building a strong and sustainable economic future, food security, and self-sufficiency, the Libyan Cooperative Company for Industrial Zones Management and Urban Development, commissioned by Dr. Adel Ayyad Al-Bouaishi, a member of its Board of Directors, has embarked on implementing a series of strategic partnerships aimed at enabling Libya to play a pivotal role in the regional sustainable development map. A visit to the Arab Republic of Egypt was a vital first step in this direction, during which he met with a number of senior officials in the Special Economic Development Zones, learned about Egypt's experience with the Chinese, and met with investors. This is part of an integrated plan to stimulate industrial development, support digital transformation, and expand the horizons of Arab and international cooperation. With a strategic vision that combines national ambition and effective partnerships, he developed plans that have transformed into effective and escalating field activity, aiming to connect Libya with the latest global development experiences and attract expertise and projects that could transform the Libyan economy. His visit to Egypt represents a practical translation of this vision. Coordination was undertaken with a number of major entities, putting Libya on the path to a knowledge-based economic renaissance. This was done in partnership with Engineer Sayed Kamal, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Chinese CDG Group. His vision played a pivotal role in coordinating the visit program and hosting important meetings between Dr. Al-Bouaishi and several Egyptian and Chinese institutions operating in Egypt, enhancing opportunities for building genuine cooperation between the public and private sectors in both countries. Engineer Kamal went beyond the organizational role, demonstrating a keen interest in advancing cooperation by presenting CDG as a strategic, funded logistics and investment corridor that supports growth in Libya.

The delegation also made a field visit to Qena Governorate to review the industrial experience of the ARE plant, which specializes in renewable energy. The visit was attended by Engineer Ayman Ibrahim. This visit is part of efforts to transfer technological and industrial expertise to Libya and create a suitable environment for local manufacturing.
