Trade and Industry Minister Tarek Kabil said the first stage of industrial investment map of seven Upper Egypt governorates was launched.

In a statement on Saturday, the minister said the seven governorates are Qena, Sohag, Beni Suef, Luxor, Meniya, Aswan and Assiut.

There are about 600 investment opportunities in these governorates and the ministry published this on its portal, he said.

The step falls within the framework of the ministry's commitment to its pledge during the Aswan youth conference which was held on January 27-28 with the participation of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi.

Kabil said the ministry is preparing the investment map of the rest of Egyptian governorates.
