A musical story
NEW hiphop album The Man Who Lost His Heart by Egyptian-German rapper Marwan Moussa releases on May 5. Set to discuss the artist's loss of his mother, the project promises to tell his personal story in five parts, each representing a stage of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. In an interview, Marwan described the creative process as an album that 'didn't come overnight'. 'It was carved out by time, sorrow, and willpower. Every word and note reflects something real,' Marwan noted. 'It's not just about grief, it's about the strength to rise again and the hope of offering support to anyone who needs it, especially the younger generation. I want them to know that even the hardest moments in life don't last forever,' he added. Since he embarked on his career in 2017, Marwan has received several accolades including Best African rapper, Breakthrough Artist Of The Year and Best Artist In African Hiphop at the 2022 All Africa Music Awards. He was also Spotify's third most streamed Arabic hiphop artist of all time across the Middle East and Africa (MENA) region in 2023. In the same year, he co-wrote and featured in his single Rajieen ('we will return'), alongside 25 other artists from different MENA countries to raise awareness on the Palestinian people's suffering amid the events of October 7.

Saxony-Egypt University For Applied Science and Technology to be inaugurated in April 2025
CAIRO – 16 March 2025: Ambassador to Berlin Mohamed al-Badry met earlier this week Prime Minister of Germany's Saxony State Michael Kretschmer in the framework of preparations for his visit to Egypt on April 8-10 where he will inaugurate Saxony-Egypt University For Applied Science and Technology (SEU) located in Cairo's Badr City. The meeting was also attended by Saxony State Minister for Economic Affairs, Labor, Energy and Climate Protection Dirk Panter as there were discussions on bolstering trade exchange between Egypt and the state, and cooperating on renewable energy and green hydrogen projects, especially in the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCzone). Similarly, the ambassador met the CEOs of the trade and industry chambers of Dresden and Leipzig to confer over collaboration on the same kind of projects, as well as vocational training. An existing successful example that Egypt aims to replicate is the Red Sea's Al Gouna hospitality school, which is an Egyptian-German joint venture.

German investors eye Egypt as key market, multiple trade delegations expected in 2025
German investors are showing a strong interest in Egypt's economic potential, recognizing the country's strategic opportunities and ongoing market reforms, according to Maren Diale-Schellschmidt, CEO of the German-Arab Chamber of Industry and Commerce (AHK Egypt). She emphasized that Egypt's economic reforms, expanding market, and strong bilateral ties with Germany make it an attractive destination for investment. Strengthening partnerships between German and Egyptian businesses, she noted, will be key to fostering sustainable growth and innovation across various sectors. As part of efforts to deepen economic ties, three German trade delegations are scheduled to visit Egypt in the second half of the year. The first, arriving in June, will focus on energy efficiency in buildings. A second delegation, specializing in textile machinery, is set to visit in September, followed by a third in November concentrating on the pharmaceutical sector. Additionally, a delegation focused on the circular economy within the technology sector is also expected. This visit aims to facilitate the exchange of expertise while exploring investment opportunities for German companies in Egypt. Diale-Schellschmidt explained that these visits were planned for the latter half of the year due to Germany's ongoing elections. In a separate development, the seventh session of the Egyptian-German Joint Economic Committee, originally scheduled for February, has been postponed to the second half of the year. The committee includes Egypt's Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade and Germany's Minister of Economy and Climate Protection, and its rescheduling is expected to further enhance economic cooperation between the two nations. Energy remains one of the most promising sectors for German investment in Egypt, particularly in renewable energy and green hydrogen. Diale-Schellschmidt highlighted Egypt's abundant solar and wind resources but pointed out that one of the main challenges is the efficient distribution of this energy, an area where German expertise could provide significant value. She noted that while German participation in green hydrogen projects is expected to increase, significant investment in this field may not materialize within the current year. She also stressed that foreign investors need a flexible regulatory framework, economic and political stability, and attractive tax incentives to maximize their contributions to Egypt's energy sector. Germany remains one of Egypt's top economic partners, with collaboration spanning trade, investment, and industrial development. Bilateral trade continues to expand, driven by investments in infrastructure, energy, and manufacturing. German companies are steadily increasing their footprint in Egypt, particularly in renewable energy, green hydrogen, and industrial automation. Beyond these sectors, both countries are strengthening cooperation in education and vocational training, supporting workforce development and technology transfer. Major German firms, including Siemens and Mercedes-Benz, play a crucial role in modernizing Egypt's economy. With ongoing projects in transport, logistics, and smart cities, Egypt is positioning itself as a key hub for German investment in Africa.

This came during a meeting held by Abdelatty with his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock, on the sidelines of the ministerial meeting on Syria held in Paris. Abdelatty noted that Germany is one of Egypt's largest partners in the economic and development fields, as major German companies are present in Egypt to implement national projects. He stressed the importance Egypt attaches to strengthening its economic and development relations, and the need to encourage more German investments, especially in the energy, transportation and green transformation sectors. He expressed his aspiration for Germany's backing for Egypt within the European Union (EU) institutions to obtain the second tranche of the economic support package, within the framework of the strategic and comprehensive partnership between Egypt and the EU, worth 4 billion euros.
