Egyptian logistics startup Bosta to expand to KSA, UAE in 2022.

Bosta, an Egyptian logistics and last-mile delivery startup, will launch in South Africa and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2022.

This move follows the startup’s $6.7 million Series A funding round, which was led by Silicon Badia and included other local and global investors.

Bosta also announced a new partnership with Family Corporation, which specializes in mobility and transportation. This partnership will enable the Egyptian startup to expand its own fleet of vehicles, allowing it to complete deliveries in Egypt more efficiently.
