Market Entry

Greenfield Logistics Hub — Market Entry Strategy

The Challenge

A Gulf-based developer sought to establish a large-scale logistics and warehousing complex near Cairo's industrial corridor but lacked local regulatory intelligence and land-acquisition networks.

Our Approach

We conducted a full regulatory mapping exercise, engaged the relevant industrial development authorities, and identified three viable land parcels through our proprietary network. A phased market-entry roadmap was delivered alongside a risk-adjusted financial model.

Outcome

The client secured preferred-developer status with the relevant authority within six months and advanced to detailed feasibility on a 120-acre site, with projected first-phase completion in 24 months.

An international private equity fund required a credible local partner to structure and negotiate the acquisition of a portfolio of operational solar assets from a state-linked entity.

Our Approach

Global Link facilitated introductions to the relevant government counterparts, led the commercial negotiation framework, and coordinated legal and technical due diligence workstreams across four assets totalling 180 MW.

Outcome

The transaction closed at a valuation within 3% of the fund's target range. Post-close, we were retained to support the operational transition and regulatory compliance programme.

Fintech Expansion — Regional Partnership Development

The Challenge

A European fintech platform sought to expand into Egypt and Saudi Arabia but faced significant barriers in identifying compliant local distribution partners and navigating central bank licensing requirements.

Our Approach

We profiled and screened 14 potential distribution partners across both markets, facilitated structured introductions, and produced a comparative licensing roadmap aligned with each central bank's current regulatory posture.

Outcome

Two partnership agreements were executed within nine months. The client obtained a payment facilitator licence in Egypt and initiated the Saudi SAMA sandbox application process.

Capital Raising

Mid-Market Manufacturer — Pre-IPO Capital Raise

The Challenge

A family-owned Egyptian manufacturer with strong EBITDA sought to raise growth capital ahead of a planned exchange listing but lacked relationships with institutional investors and had no investor-ready documentation.

Our Approach

We prepared a comprehensive investment memorandum, built a targeted investor pipeline of 22 regional and international funds, and managed the roadshow process including Q&A preparation and data room management.

Outcome

The company closed a USD 35 million Series B round from two regional funds at a valuation that exceeded management's initial expectations by 18%. The IPO track remains on schedule.

Strategic Advisory

Private Hospital Group — Strategic Growth Advisory

The Challenge

A mid-sized private hospital group sought to evaluate acquisition targets and organic expansion options across three governorates, requiring both financial analysis and an assessment of regulatory and operational feasibility.

Our Approach

We delivered a sector landscape study, screened eight acquisition candidates against a bespoke scorecard, and produced detailed feasibility assessments for two greenfield sites, incorporating MOH licensing timelines and catchment-area demand modelling.

Outcome

The board approved a dual-track strategy: one acquisition proceeding to exclusivity and one greenfield site advancing to architectural brief. Total projected capacity addition: 340 beds.

Policy & Stakeholder Engagement

Multilateral Development Programme — Stakeholder Engagement

The Challenge

A multilateral development institution required a trusted local intermediary to facilitate structured dialogue between its programme team and senior government counterparts across three ministries for a USD 200 million infrastructure programme.

Our Approach

Global Link mapped the relevant decision-making hierarchy, facilitated 11 structured engagement sessions over four months, and produced a consolidated stakeholder alignment report that informed the programme's implementation framework.

Outcome

All three ministries formally endorsed the programme framework. The institution cited the quality of stakeholder alignment as a key factor in the programme's accelerated approval timeline.

How We Structure Every Engagement

Scoping & Alignment

We begin with a structured briefing to define objectives, constraints, and success criteria before any work commences.

02

Research & Intelligence

Primary research, regulatory mapping, and stakeholder profiling form the analytical foundation of every engagement.

03

Strategy & Execution

We develop actionable recommendations and lead or support execution — introductions, negotiations, and documentation.

04

Reporting & Continuity

Structured deliverables and post-engagement support ensure outcomes are captured and momentum is maintained.
