Egyptian deep-tech and life science startup Nawah Scientific, which specialises in scientific and industrial testing services, has closed a US$23 million Series A funding round.
Founded in 2015, Nawah Scientific is an online platform that receives experiment requests, collects samples, conducts tests and returns results digitally. Its aim is to enable scientists to conduct higher quality research, regardless of their location and owned lab facilities.
Its US$23 million Series A funding round was a mix of equity and debt and was led by Life Ventures Holding, with participation from Den Ventures, Empire M, AfricInvest, and Elsewedy, alongside banks and angel investors.
The capital will back three priorities – building a 10,000-sqm global R&D centre in Rwanda, doubling lab capacity in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and expanding across North Africa and Europe.
Founder and CEO Omar Shokry Saqr declared the round strengthens Nawah’s research and tech backbone for its next growth phase.
