EVs Electrify Egypt Summit: Driving the Future of Electric Vehicles in Egypt
Introduction to the Summit and Its Local and Regional Importance
Cairo will host the second edition of Egypt’s International Electric Mobility Summit 2025 – known as “EVs Electrify Egypt” – from 18 to 20 December 2025 at the Egypt International Exhibition Center (EIEC). The summit is held under the patronage of Egypt’s Prime Minister and with the participation of several government ministries, including the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Environment, and the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade.
The summit holds significant value both locally and regionally as it brings together key decision-makers, manufacturers, engineers, investors, and innovators under one roof to accelerate the growth of the electric mobility sector in Egypt.
The event also features a large exhibition space of around 10,000 square meters, hosting more than 300 exhibitors, offering electric vehicle test drives and interactive displays of the latest sector technologies. Over 40,000 visitors from more than 50 countries are expected to attend, along with more than 50 high-level speakers—making it one of the most influential events shaping the future of transportation in the region.
Summit Objectives and Its Role in Supporting the Future of Electric Vehicles in Egypt
Mohamed El-Saidi, CEO of the EVs Electrify Egypt Summit, stated that the second edition builds on the success of the inaugural summit held in October 2024, which saw extensive participation from government bodies, electric mobility companies, and a large public turnout—reflecting the growing interest in clean transportation solutions in the Egyptian market.
El-Saidi added that this year’s summit aims to provide a comprehensive platform that brings together companies, investors, and key stakeholders in the electric mobility sector to discuss investment opportunities, challenges facing local manufacturing, and ways to support Egypt’s transition toward electric transportation amidst global economic and environmental shifts.
The conference program includes panel discussions and specialized seminars covering different aspects of the future of electric vehicles in Egypt. Topics include next-generation electric vehicles, battery technology, spare parts, electric drivetrains, and energy infrastructure—with a particular focus on policy, technology, market growth, and sustainability. Through these diverse themes, the summit aims to outline a clear roadmap for the future of Egypt’s electric vehicle industry and support wider adoption.
Key Participants: Companies, Government Bodies, and Investors
The summit enjoys high-level government support, represented in the patronage of the Prime Minister and the participation of several ministries and relevant authorities. Official participants include the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Environment, and the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade.
Prominent national entities will also take part, such as the Arab Organization for Industrialization, the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI), the General Organization for Export and Import Control, and the Internal Trade Development Authority, along with professional and research institutions such as the Engineers Syndicate and the Electronics Research Institute.
From the private sector, the exhibition will showcase participation from a broad range of local and international companies involved in manufacturing electric and hybrid cars, buses, and trucks, as well as providers of charging solutions and related infrastructure. Exhibitors will present their latest products and services, allowing visitors to explore the newest developments firsthand.
This diversity of participants—from government agencies and manufacturers to investors and technology leaders—provides a unique opportunity to strengthen partnerships and explore promising investment opportunities within Egypt’s electric vehicle market.
Impact on the Egyptian Market and State Plans
The outcomes of the first summit demonstrated the tangible impact of such events on the sector. For example, the opening edition witnessed the announcement of the establishment of the “Egyptian Arab Association for Smart Mobility and Electric Vehicles,” aimed at enhancing cooperation among manufacturers, developers, and investors, and supporting the transition toward more sustainable mobility solutions in Egypt and the region.
The 2025 summit is expected to build on this momentum by attracting more investment to the Egyptian market and advancing local industries linked to electric vehicles. Key agenda items include attracting foreign investment for local EV manufacturing, strengthening readiness of supportive industries, and addressing both local and international challenges linked to the electric transition.
These efforts align with the state’s plans to localize EV manufacturing. Egypt has recently signed international partnerships to establish local production facilities, including an agreement with China’s BAIC to build a factory expected to produce around 20,000 electric cars in its first operational year.
The government is also developing supporting infrastructure, including a plan to install approximately 3,000 EV charging stations across the country to encourage consumer adoption. By aligning summit discussions with these national initiatives, the event is expected to accelerate growth of Egypt’s EV market and support the state’s roadmap toward sustainable mobility.
The Summit Within Egypt’s Sustainable Development and Green Transport Strategy
The EVs Electrify Egypt Summit is closely aligned with Egypt’s Sustainable Development Strategy (Vision 2030) and the state’s commitment to green transportation. The government has expressed strong commitment to supporting the electric transition, including plans under Vision 2030 for a full phase-out of traditional gasoline and diesel vehicles by 2040 and achieving a 10% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector by 2030.
Within this context, the summit highlights the central role of the transport sector in climate action. Sessions address how sustainable transport can reduce carbon emissions, the potential of carbon credit mechanisms, and international cooperation opportunities to accelerate the green transition.
The summit also explores infrastructure development plans, smart city projects, and integrating electric vehicles into modern urban development—ensuring that EVs become part of future urban planning in Egypt.
All these efforts support a broader public-private partnership framework, reinforcing Egypt’s direction toward environmental sustainability and expanding clean transport within a comprehensive national strategy to transform both the transport and energy sectors.
Conclusion: Emphasizing the Importance of Continued Events
The EVs Electrify Egypt Summit has demonstrated—through the momentum and positive responses it has generated—the importance of continuing to host such events in the future. These platforms not only facilitate communication and knowledge exchange between government bodies, experts, and companies, but also help sustain progress toward adopting sustainable transport solutions and keeping pace with rapid global developments in this vital sector.
The ongoing organization of such conferences and trade exhibitions ensures the continuation of constructive dialogue between official institutions and industry leaders, strengthening efforts to establish Egypt as a regional hub for electric vehicles and green transportation.
