Founded in 2015 by Omar Saqr, Nawah Scientific operates a cloud lab that lets researchers and companies submit samples and receive advanced testing results without owning in-house equipment. Its four business units cover life-science research, food and agriculture safety testing, pharmaceutical R&D and formulation, and the production of certified reference materials used for calibration and quality control. Over its first decade, the company has processed more than one million samples, employs 160 researchers, and serves clients in over 30 countries. Revenue or profitability figures were not disclosed, but the scale of testing activity underscores meaningful commercial traction. The firm plans to channel fresh capital into a 10,000-sqm global R&D centre in Rwanda, while simultaneously doubling laboratory capacity in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Additional expansion is slated for North Africa and Europe, positioning Nawah as a regional hub for outsourced scientific services. These initiatives aim to deepen its research capabilities and broaden market reach.
