Description
Summary:Manufacturing industry is one of the major economic foundations in Egypt and Israel. The two countries' manufacturing industry has developed different capabilities, largely based on the unique resources available. Israel has leveraged on its high-quality R&D that are being carried out in many of its world-class tertiary institutes and transformed its infrastructure and labour force to meet the higher technological demands. Egypt has made use of its abundant labour force to encourage investments in manufacturing sectors that are labour-intensive. As world trade liberalisation and foreign investment become more common, investors will find potentially lucrative investment opportunities in the two countries' manufacturing sectors.
