Egypt’s Personal Data Protection Law – Before You Process, You Need a Licence

The Arab Republic of Egypt enacted a comprehensive data protection law in 2020. From 31 October 2026, full compliance will be mandatory.

Sherif said the meeting comes at a time of increasing need for more flexible and effective justice systems capable of responding to challenges.

Tang said that WIPO will continue providing technical and logistical support to Egypt and noted progress in developing its intellectual property.

For founders, investors, and ecosystem builders, the charter clarifies who qualifies as a startup, what support is available, and state plans.

As Egypt works on attracting private capital for sectors, legal clarity has become a decisive factor in sustaining investor confidence.
