Over a span of nine years, the IDC has successfully delivered 15,358 services, covering a wide spectrum of areas crucial to enhancing competitiveness, quality, capacity building, knowledge transfer, productivity, information technology, digital transformation, green economy, export development, financial consultations, and heritage and artisanal clusters.

Some of the notable achievements of the IDC include the implementation of the Local Suppliers Development Program, which aims to strengthen local supply chains and support domestic manufacturers.

The launch of the "Made in Egypt" brand has further bolstered the country's industrial reputation, highlighting the high quality and craftsmanship of Egyptian products.
