This accreditation signifies the company’s remarkable achievements in the field of food safety and testing, placing it among the top global laboratories.

Established in 2015, Nawah Scientific operates an online platform that facilitates high-quality research by scientists, regardless of their location or access to laboratory facilities.

The company receives experiment requests, collects samples, conducts thorough testing, and delivers results electronically.

This accreditation from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a groundbreaking achievement for Nawah Scientific and for the African continent as a whole.

Previously, this accreditation was primarily granted to European companies.

Dr. Omar Sakr, the founder and CEO of Nawah Scientific, expressed his pride in this accomplishment and acknowledged the significance of this accreditation for the company’s growth and impact.

“Now, Nawah Scientific is firmly positioned on the map of global laboratories and research centers, impacting the company and the Egyptian food market. This opens up collaboration opportunities with international organizations such as the UN World Food Programme, saving costs and time for Egyptian exporters seeking to export to the US market by analyzing samples abroad before export,” he stated.

This accreditation is not only a testament to Nawah Scientific’s expertise but also holds immense potential to revolutionize the food safety landscape in Africa.

It will streamline the export process for Egyptian and African companies, eliminating the need to send samples abroad for analysis, thereby reducing costs and expediting export procedures.

Nawah Scientific is poised to leverage this accreditation to expand its reach into key African markets such as Nigeria and South Africa.

The company has already demonstrated its ability to attract investment, having secured a US$1 million pre-Series A round in 2021 and additional funding from the Cairo Angels Syndicate Fund in 2022.

With this groundbreaking accreditation, Nawah Scientific is poised to play a pivotal role in enhancing food safety and quality across Africa, contributing to improved health outcomes and economic prosperity for the continent.
