Prime Minister sherif Ismail said the government is adamant to turn the Suez Canal axis into an up-to-date center for modern industries to cater for the needs of domestic and foreign markets.
Ismail made the remark on Wednesday during the inauguration of a two-day conference - under the rubric of "Egypt Can" - in the Red Sea resort city of Hurghada.
Ismail said the state seeks to magnify scientists contribution to mammoth projects, especially the Suez Canal axis project.
He added that the project would secure thousands of jobs.
At the beginning of the conference, Ismail asked the conferees to observe a minute of silence over the victims of Sunday's terror attack on Boutroseya Church.
Meanwhile, he lauded President Abdel Fattah El Sisi for sponsoring the event, adding that Egypt is looking forward for scientists and experts contribution to Egypt's march of development.
Immigration Minister Nabila Makram, Red Sea Governor Ahmed Abdallah alongside a cluster of ministers attended the conference inauguration.
More than 30 scientists take part in the conference - the first to focus on benefiting from migrant Egyptian scientists to lay down scientific bases for national projects.
Dr Farouq el Baz and renowned cardiologist Magdi Yacoub are the honorary guests of the event.
The conference is expected to come up with key research papers to serve mammoth national projects within the framework of "Egypt's Vision 2030".
