  There are two Fs in Port Said: fishing and fashion. Two industries, two worlds, and countless human lives between them. At first, they seem to belong to different worlds. The sea and the street, the fishermen who cast their nets into the Mediterranean, and the workers whose hands bring garments, fabrics, and trade to life. And yet, in Port Said, these two worlds have always been closer than they appear. Two enduring trades that, together, tell the story of a place and the people who call themselves Port Saidians.  Both industries represent the changing treasures of the city. The same climate that is transforming the sea is also unsettling the industries and livelihoods that have long depended upon it. And behind these changes are the lives of the fishermen drawing their lives from the water, and workers whose hands sustain the city’s trade and manufacturing. Born into a family of fishermen and fashion designers, Moemen Sobh, founder of Visenleer, a social enterprise that turns ocean waste into sustainable textiles, grew up with a Port Saidian soul that looks at both the sea and textiles through one eye.

  Egypt has launched its first industrial robot developed locally by Egyptian engineers and technology company RaedBots on Wednesday, 23 September, marking a new push to build not just products in Egypt, but the technology and machinery behind them. The robot was unveiled through a collaboration between RaedBots, the Industrial Modernization Center (IMC), and Egyptian manufacturing company CUBII Industrial Solutions. Unlike a technology demonstration designed only for display, the robot has been developed to work in an actual industrial setting, where its performance can be tested on a real production line. The robot currently has an 80 percent local content rate, with that figure expected to reach 90 percent once its main motor is also produced in Egypt. The newly launched robot is being integrated into machinery produced by CUBII, an Egyptian manufacturer specialising in automated food-filling and packaging machines as well as customised industrial automation systems. CUBII already exports its products to markets across Africa, the Middle East and Europe, giving the robot a chance to be tested within a company that operates beyond the Egyptian market. The Ministry of Industry plans to follow the robot’s performance at CUBIIContinue reading "Egypt’s First Local Industrial Robot Is Here"
