Trade and Industry Minister Mounir Fakhry Abdel Nour said Prime Minister Ibrahim Mehleb will sign an agreement with Italy next month to establish a furniture technology hub in Damietta.
This partnership was agreed during a meeting held by the minister on Saturday to discuss the requirements of the manufacturers and exporters in terms of workshops, factories, logistics and services needed for the hub.
Abdel Nour said the hub would be built on 331 acres and financed by the Social Fund and other agencies.
