Schneider Electric and Hassan Allam Holding Partner to Boost Smart Agriculture in Egypt

A Strategic Alliance for Sustainable Development

Schneider Electric, a global leader in digital energy solutions, has announced a strategic

partnership with Hassan Allam Holding, a regional construction and infrastructure leader,

to launch a groundbreaking project advancing smart and sustainable agriculture in Egypt.

Empowering Underserved Communities in Port Said

The collaboration will focus on El Nouras village, located in southern Port Said, home

to around 12,000 people.

The community relies on the El-Salam Canal for irrigation.

The initiative aims to enhance local living standards through integrated solutions for

the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus.

Greenhouse Powered by Solar Energy

At the heart of the project lies a solar powered smart greenhouse equipped with

climate control systems.

The facility is expected to produce around 20 tons of vegetables annually, helping

overcome challenges like poor irrigation water quality and low crop yields due to climate change.

Advancing Egypt’s Green Energy Goals

Fully solar-powered, the project supports Egypt’s Vision 2030 and its pledge to source

42% of electricity from renewables and reduce carbon emissions by 37% by 2030.

It also reduces dependence on fossil fuels and enhances local food security.

Driving Real Change with Smart Tech

The project utilizes Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure technology to improve energy

efficiency, manage water use smartly, and increase agricultural productivity.

It also provides access to digital tools for underserved areas, promoting long-term

resilience and capacity building.

Voices from the Partners

Sebastien Riez, CEO of Schneider Electric Northeast Africa and Levant, said:

“Our solutions empower communities by turning sustainability goals into real impact.

This partnership shows how innovation can uplift lives and support Egypt’s development ambitions.”

Merette Elsayed, Chief Commercial Officer of Hassan Allam Holding, added:

“We’re committed to building sustainable, inclusive communities. This project brings smart,

clean technology to where it’s needed most.”

Transforming Rural Egypt through Sustainable Infrastructure

The project promotes job creation, gender inclusion, local skill development, and access to

clean energy, water, and sanitation. It reinforces the private sector’s role in delivering impactful,

community based solutions.

Showcased at Schneider Electric’s Innovation Day

The partnership was unveiled during the “Buildings of the Future Innovation Day” held in Cairo.

It sets a new benchmark for how smart infrastructure can support national and global sustainability goals.
