The partnership with Avanz Capital Egypt aims to leverage Trella’s innovative solutions and contribute to the growth and success of the logistics industry.
The fund sets its sights on low-carbon projects, intending to issue “carbon credits” under the name “EGYCOP.” With an initial target of raising one billion pounds, this fund emphasizes Avanz Capital Egypt’s commitment to sustainable investments and the transition to a greener economy.
