Dakhla: Africa's New Industrial Gateway to the Atlantic

Dakhla: Africa's New Industrial Gateway to the Atlantic

By Jawad El Idrissi, Chairman & CEO — NECIM Group

With the development of the future Atlantic Port of Dakhla, a unique opportunity is emerging to structure a new export-oriented platform connecting West Africa to global markets.

Pilot Phase: 100 Hectares

A first operational phase on a surveyed 100-hectare site enables rapid project launch — developing a logistics and light industrial platform, generating early jobs and attracting operators and investors from the outset.

Scaling to 500 Hectares

  • Higher value-added industrial activities
  • Regional logistics and distribution platforms
  • Green energy solutions (solar, hydrogen-ready)
  • A fully structured export-oriented ecosystem

Dakhla is no longer a remote location. It is an emerging gateway.
