Engazaat Targets Regional Growth in WEF Infrastructure
Engazaat, an Egypt-headquartered asset manager focused on the water, energy, and food (WEF) nexus in the Middle East and Africa, plans to invest more than $100 million in regional expansion. The investment is part of a wider $250 million project portfolio, according to Muhammad El Demerdash, founding partner and CEO.
Engazaat operates across interconnected systems—water, renewable energy, and food production—by investing in and managing infrastructure that serves agricultural, commercial, and industrial clients. The company is expanding in Egypt, Lebanon, and the United Arab Emirates through long-term service and utility offtake agreements under a Build–Own–Operate (BOO) model.
“We approach water, energy, and food infrastructure as one connected investment case,” El Demerdash said, noting that integrated design and financing can improve operational performance and cost efficiency.
