Taaleem Management Services Company, a minority-owned investment of CI Capital Holding for Financial Investments, signed a shareholder agreement with Palm Hills Developments (PHD) to build a university in PHD’s flagship project Badya, situated in West Cairo.

Under the deal, the joint venture (JV) will develop a university in Badya which is expected to serve up to 9,000 students.

The investment cost of the project is estimated to be between 1.6 billion Egyptian pounds and 1.9 billion pounds which will be financed by equity and debt.
