Egypt remains one of the largest manufacturers of pharmaceuticals in Africa and the Middle East. In the area of biotechnology, most biotech companies in Egypt focus on areas like human health and agriculture.
The biotech sector is supported by research agencies like the Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Research Institute (GEBRI), and universities like the Cairo University, Alexandria University, and Ain Shams University.
One of the success story of the biotech sector in Egypt is Minapharm, developer of high-value biologicals, small molecules and complex bioengineered proteins for unmet medical needs. The factory in Cairo, Egypt, that researches, develops and manufactures complex genetically engineered protein is the first of its kind in Africa and the Middle East.
In the area of agricultural biotechnology, Egypt has made significant progress, though short-lived. In 2008, the government approved the cultivation of genetically modified corn, and was the second country, after South Africa, to commercialize GMO foods (Bt maize).
However, by 2022, the government suspended the planting of GMO corn, and all GMO-related works citing lack of biosafety law guiding the practice.
