The FCC Group president, Esther Alcocer Koplowitz, attended the lunch that King Felipe and Queen Letizia hosted at the Royal Palace in Madrid in honour of the president of Egypt, Abdelfatah al Sisi, on the occasion of his official visit to Spain. A diplomatic meeting attended by representatives from the world of politics and business, which demonstrates the commitment of Spain and Egypt to strengthen their relations.

The FCC Group's presence in Egypt is very significant. In 2010, Aqualia, the FCC Group's subsidiary specialising in integrated water management, was chosen to design, build and operate the New Cairo wastewater treatment plant for 20 years. Located in the capital of Egypt, it was the first contract awarded in the country for a public-private partnership (PPP) project. In Egypt, it has also carried out the construction of the Abu Rawash wastewater treatment plant, one of the largest in the world, which serves more than 5.5 million people; and in 2019, Aqualia completed the El Alamein desalination plant project (Egypt), which contributes significantly to alleviating the water shortage in the central part of the Egyptian Mediterranean. Aqualia is currently operating and maintaining this facility until 2027.

Taking advantage of the Group's synergies, FCC Construcción, a leading international construction company, one of the largest in Europe and the world, with proven experience in the development of large civil infrastructures linked to citizens, has participated in the development and execution of the El Alamein desalination plant and in the project for the construction of the Abu Rawash wastewater treatment plant, which treats more than 1.6 million m3 per day.
