Egypt partners with Orange and DP World to boost digital trade and logistics

Minister of Supply and Internal Trade Shereef Farouk met with officials from Orange Egypt to review solutions for the national "Karry One" initiative. The project seeks to standardise commercial identity, modernise ministry outlets and introduce electronic payment, digital marketing, data analytics and cloud‑based services such as IoT, aiming to raise operational efficiency and improve citizen experience.

Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade Mohamed Farid held an expanded meeting with DP World executive Mohamed Shihab to explore how the global port operator’s logistics network can be leveraged to connect Egyptian products to world markets, especially in Africa. The dialogue focused on lowering export costs, enhancing supply‑chain efficiency and supporting Egypt’s target to increase overseas sales of food, agricultural, chemical, construction, apparel and engineering goods.
