The meeting is part of the SCZone's efforts to expand partnerships with development allies and partner countries to support sustainable development goals and reinforce its role as a global industrial and logistics hub.
Gamal El-Dien reviewed the SCZone's infrastructure, which includes six seaports on the Red Sea and the Mediterranean connected to global supply chains, and four industrial zones capable of accommodating a wide range of industries.
He highlighted competitive advantages such as direct and indirect financial incentives, sector-specific benefits, reliable energy supplies, and skilled labor at competitive costs, positioning the zone as an attractive destination for European companies seeking regional and global expansion.
He stressed the importance of building partnerships with Hungary in value-added sectors, pointing to opportunities in automotive manufacturing, data centers, and industries supporting the railway and electricity sectors, while tapping into the technological expertise of Central and Eastern Europe.
Herencsár praised the SCZone's development and expressed Hungary's interest in cooperation in manufacturing, export, infrastructure, solar energy, and water management.
She proposed organizing meetings between Gamal El-Dien and Hungarian companies interested in investing in the zone and pursuing joint projects under public-private partnerships.
Following the meeting, the Hungarian delegation toured several projects, including Ecobat for Industrial Development Company, Elsewedy Watanya for Industries and Engineering Projects, and the National Steel Fabrication Company (NSF), viewing international partnership models and opportunities for industrial integration.

Energean Deepens African Gas Focus Ahead of Silver Partnership at African Energy Week (AEW) 2025
International hydrocarbon exploration and production company Energean will participate as a Silver Partner at this year's African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energies 2025, taking place from September 29 to October 3 in Cape Town. The company enters the conference with a deepened focus on Egypt's natural gas sector. The company aims to optimize its offshore concessions in the country and plans to integrate its three existing licenses – Abu Qir, North El Amriya and North Idku – in the Nile Delta region to streamline costs and enhance productivity. Energean recently launched an infill drilling campaign in the Abu Qir concession. A well drilled from the North Abu Qir PII platform discovered 270 feet of net play in the BKES-1 and Abu Madi formations – double the pre-drill estimate. The well confirmed gas in place between 87 and 129 billion cubic feet and identified a possible 55-foot liquids column, with first production scheduled to begin later this year. As part of its 2025 strategy, Energean is preparing to drill its low-cost East Bir Nus concession in Egypt's Western Desert and is pursuing near-field drilling opportunities around Abu Qir. The company is also targeting deeper horizons with Abu Qir to access untapped resources and accelerate gas-to-market timelines. Beyond Egypt, Energean continues to advocate for a pan-African approach to natural gas development, calling for accelerated timelines, regulatory clarity and stronger regional cooperation to unlock the continent's vast untapped resources. The company recently emphasized that Africa's energy transformation requires bold leadership and integrated planning, noting that natural gas can play a central role in industrialization, job creation and long-term energy security. Energean is also actively engaging with African governments and stakeholders to share technical expertise, promote infrastructure-led growth and support the development of gas value chains that are both economically and environmentally sustainable. Following an announcement in December 2024 that Energean would target new acquisitions across Africa, along with the Balkans, the UK and the North Sea, the company is actively reshaping its portfolio around high-impact, development-ready assets. This strategic shift comes in the wake of the divestment of mature assets and signals a renewed focus on frontier and underdeveloped regions, where Energean can apply its proven development model. 'Energean's continued investment in Egypt and its broader commitment to unlocking Africa's gas potential reflect exactly the kind of pragmatic, forward-looking energy leadership we need. Their integrated approach to development, combined with deep technical capability, positions them as a key partner in driving energy access, industrial growth and long-term security across the continent,' states Tomás Gerbasio, VP of Commercial and Strategic Engagement, African Energy Chamber.
