Bel Egypt joins Danone Egypt's 'Omda' initiative to extend its rural footprint and drive meaningful community impact
Cairo, Egypt — As part of its continued growth and expansion strategy, Bel Egypt, a global leader in dairy products, has entered into a strategic co-distribution partnership with Danone Egypt through their established CSR initiative 'Omda'. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in Bel's mission to deliver accessible, affordable nutrition to underserved rural areas while advancing sustainable development goals. The partnership was signed in the presence of H.E. Éric Chevallier, the French Ambassador to Egypt; Hany Arram, Regional Manager of Bel Egypt and North East Africa; and Hesham Radwan, the General Manager of Danone Egypt. Originally launched by Danone Egypt as a flagship social impact program, 'Omda' enables micro-distributors, funded through Danone's banking partner, to own and operate distribution vans serving hard-to-reach areas. Today, the 'Omda' fleet comprises 370 vans, collectively reaching over 15 million customers across Egypt's rural and semi-urban regions.

On this occasion, His Excellency Eric Chevallier praised the initiative. Two French companies forming alliances to build strong partnerships by drawing on what makes French economic presence in Egypt so impactful : value added, job creation, training and focus on talents, contribution to the economic growth and, in this case also improving access to quality nutrition in rural areas, and reducing the carbon footprint of their operations. Echoing this sentiment, Hesham Radwan, General Manager of Danone Egypt stated, "We are proud of this strategic partnership with Bel Egypt, which brings together two French companies with global legacies and long-standing roots in Egypt. This collaboration perfectly aligns with our mission to empower local communities and expand access to healthy, nutritious food across the country. Together, we are not only enhancing the efficiency of our distribution networks but also reinforcing our commitment to health, environmental responsibility, local empowerment, and shared, inclusive growth.

This partnership is a powerful step forward on our journey to fulfill Danone's core purpose—bringing health through food to as many people as possible.'

DMDC launches property investment arm with Dhs100m commitment
Image: Getty images The announcement was made during a private press conference and marks the company's largest strategic investment since its inception. DMDC has allocated Dhs70m to kickstart a portfolio of premium residential projects, with flagship developments already underway in Arabian Ranches, Jumeirah Golf Estates, and Emerald Hills. An additional Dhs30m investment is planned for the second half of 2025, bringing the total capital commitment to Dhs100m for the year. Unlike DMDC's core client-focused services, DMDC Estates is wholly owned and operated by the company, focusing exclusively on acquiring, renovating, and selling luxury properties across Dubai. By operating independently, the new division allows DMDC to apply its full creative and construction expertise without external constraints. The company confirmed it will continue to undertake client projects across interior design and construction, while DMDC Estates will focus solely on its own development ventures. The first completed property under DMDC Estates is already generating buzz. A fully reimagined six-bedroom villa in Arabian Ranches, the project has been elegantly redesigned from the ground up and serves as a model for a series of curated homes currently in progress. 'We are excited to finally share DMDC Estates, a division that has been months in the making,' said Raji Daou, CEO of DMDC. 'The market is constantly evolving, and we are delighted to be part of Dubai's dynamic real estate scene in a brand new way. Through DMDC Estates, we'll be curating exceptional masterpieces that reflect our design philosophy and high standards.' Founded in 2021, DMDC has quickly risen to become a key player in Dubai's design and construction scene. The firm employs more than 700 professionals and delivers integrated solutions across residential, commercial, and retail sectors. By blending innovative design, digital technology, artisanal craftsmanship, and sustainable practices, DMDC has earned a reputation for pushing creative boundaries. The launch of DMDC Estates is a bold step toward expanding that vision — not just shaping interiors, but entire lifestyles, one property at a time.

UAE, DRC deepen mining investment cooperation ahead of African Mining Week 2025
CAPE TOWN, South Africa -- Mining and investment cooperation between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) intensified in 2025 with the signing of several agreements. As the world's leading cobalt producer - responsible for over 70% of global output -, a leading tin producer and Africa's top copper producer, the DRC's mining value chain is presenting increasingly attractive and strategic investment opportunities for UAE investors. As the DRC seeks to leverage UAE investments to unlock its $24 trillion-worth of mineral potential, the upcoming African Mining Week (AMW) 2025 will serve as a vital platform for strengthening UAE-DRC partnerships. The event will feature a dedicated Middle East-Africa Roundtable, featuring high-level panel discussions and project showcases, providing UAE investors the opportunity to connect with DRC policymakers and mining stakeholders. With growing global demand for energy transition and fourth industrial revolution minerals, the UAE is actively expanding its footprint in the DRC to secure mineral supply chains. UAE Investments in DRC Mining Congolese mining company Buenassa partnered with UAE-based NG9 Holding to develop the DRC's first integrated copper-cobalt refinery in mid-July. The facility is set to produce 30,000 tons of copper cathodes and 5,000 tons of cobalt sulphate annually, supporting the DRC's push for local beneficiation and value addition in its mining sector. In June 2025, Abu Dhabi's International Resources Holding (IRH) announced a $366 million acquisition of a majority stake in mining firm Alphamin Resources. The deal provides IRH with access to the DRC's Bisie Tin Complex - one of the world's largest and highest-grade tin deposits, responsible for 6% of global supply. IRH's investment in the project is expected to reinforce the DRC's role in the global tin market, with demand projected to grow by 20% by 2035. At AMW, a panel titled Cobalt Opportunity: DRC's Strategic Position in the EV Revolution, will connect UAE investors with opportunities in the DRC's expanding critical mineral sector. Beyond mining, UAE investments are also bolstering the DRC's energy infrastructure. NG9 Holding also signed a deal with Congolese energy company Kipay Energy to develop a 46 MW hydropower facility in Haut-Katanga, which will contribute to a total of 166 MW of electricity - helping to secure stable power supply for mining operations in the region. As UAE interest in the DRC's mining and energy sectors continues to grow, AMW will catalyze new partnerships, investments and deal signings that will further integrate the two nations' strategic interests in mineral development.

About African Mining Week: African Mining Week serves as a premier platform for exploring the full spectrum of mining opportunities across Africa. The event is held alongside the African Energy Week: Invest in African Energies 2025 conference from October 1-3 in Cape Town.
