From Sohag to Egypt Forum 2026: An Inventor Puts the “Fourth Gold” Treasure in the Hands of President Sisi

From Sohag to Egypt Forum 2026: An Inventor Puts the Treasure of the “Fourth Gold” in President El-Sisi’s Hands

In response to the call by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to hold Egypt Forum 2026, the inventor Sami Naguib Abdullah Girgis—known publicly as inventor Sami Girgis from Tahta center in Sohag, and holder of final patent number 29213—has announced five national initiatives presented to the forum, the presidency, and parliament.

Girgis said: “I place Egypt’s true treasure, which is the fourth gold, in the hands of the President.”

What Is the Fourth Gold?

The fourth gold is final Egyptian patents in general. It is the inexhaustible wealth that will build Egypt industrially, agriculturally, militarily, and in space, and I own one of these most important treasures.

Initiative One: The Ultimate Solution

Submitting final patent number 29213, issued in March 2019, entitled “A Station for Power Generation, Water Desalination, and Salt Extraction Using Sea and Ocean Waves Without Any Other Power Source.”

A purely Egyptian station that operates 24 hours a day using sea waves alone—without sun, wind, or diesel—producing four things simultaneously: continuous electricity + desalinated water + salt + distilled water for green hydrogen, while preventing the flooding of the Delta and coastal erosion.

Initiative Two: Integrating Inventions into Curricula

Demanding that the Ministry of Education and Higher Education integrate final Egyptian patents, foremost among them patent 29213, into school curricula and upload them to the Knowledge Bank so that the Egyptian student can be proud that the global solution is Egyptian.

Initiative Three: Annual Sermon and Homily

Designating the second Friday of March every year as a unified Friday sermon and Sunday sermon to support Egyptian inventors and innovators and to instill a spirit of innovation in every Egyptian home.

Initiative Four: Prospecting for the Fourth Gold

Launching a national project to prospect for final Egyptian patents across all governorates, collect them in a single bank, and implement them according to the state’s capabilities.

Initiative Five: A Bill Before the Speaker of Parliament

Girgis formally submitted this text to Counselor Dr. the Speaker of the House of Representatives:

Mr. Counselor Dr. / Respected Speaker of the House of Representatives
Submitted to your Excellency by: Mr. Sami Naguib Abdullah Girgis
Patent Number: 29213
Subject: Proposal for a bill to support and sponsor Egyptian inventors and innovators

The Text of the Proposed Law Is as Follows:

Given the importance of inventions and innovations in driving the progress of nations, they are considered the sole locomotive for any country seeking growth and prosperity. Out of the state’s interest in developing and building our beloved Egypt on scientific foundations, as the President of the Republic emphasized in his vision for Egypt’s future 2030, innovation and creativity are considered core axes.

For any Egyptian citizen who has obtained a final patent, the state commits to the following:

First: Organizing an annual ceremony attended by the President of the Republic to honor inventors.

Second: Facilitating the execution of experiments, research, studies, consultations, and necessary requirements within specialized bodies such as universities and research institutes free of charge.

Third: An inventor who holds a final patent shall be treated financially and administratively like a holder of a doctorate degree, shall be granted a doctorate degree in invention, and this shall be added to the national ID card.

Fourth: Granting the inventor a non-repayable grant of one million pounds or more to support the implementation of their invention.

Fifth: Appointing the inventor to the state’s administrative apparatus without restriction or condition.

Sixth: Granting senior citizens, patients, those who are not appointed for any reason, and the like a monthly exceptional pension.

Seventh: Implementing inventions according to the state’s capabilities.

Eighth: Forming a high committee reporting to the President of the Republic, tasked with reviewing final patents, and its decisions shall be binding.

Ninth: Priority shall be given to running for and winning state appreciation and encouragement awards without restriction or condition.

Tenth: Participating in the implementation of the “Let’s Encourage Each Other to Innovate” initiative.

Eleventh: Integrating inventions into school curricula and uploading them to the Knowledge Bank.

Twelfth: All state-owned and private media outlets must allocate half an hour weekly free of charge to shed light on inventors.

“I Ask for Nothing for Myself”

Girgis concluded: “I ask for nothing for myself; I ask that Egypt adopt its invention, and I am ready to implement the first prototype at my own expense if the state provides only the coastal land.”
