Egypt has a unique chance to establish a compact yet practical software sector and become the IT hub. While its potential is rising, it can further expand beyond current levels. The combined efforts of the government, industry, financial institutions, and the education system will determine the industry’s development and contribution to Egypt’s economy.
Nascent Stage of Egypt’s Ware Industry
The software landscape in Egypt is still in its infancy, but it’s the end of diversity and variety, with both local and multinational players. About 28% of the population is engaged in educational programs, while the workforce comprises 19 million individuals (source).
Pro-business policies have spurred the software sector, attracting investments from companies like IBM, Intel, Valeo, and Oracle. These corporations have established facilities and expanded operations in Egypt, aided by favorable regulations.
Since 2005, Egypt has striven to become a preferred destination for intellectual capital investments, offering software development, business process outsourcing, and call center services. This drive has led to creating technology parks hosting over 130 multinational companies specializing in ICT, software development, outsourcing, and call centers.
