Egypt launches digital strategy for offshoring industry

The strategy also targets creating over 215, 000 jobs and increasing Egypt’s competitiveness in areas of readership and development (R&D) and high-value services, according to ITIDA.

Egypt’s Minister of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) Amr Talaat witnessed, via videoconference, the launch of Digital Egypt Strategy. The launch event was attended by more than 120 multinational and local companies, CEOs and senior executives of offshoring service providers.

During the event, Talaat said that Egypt has many competitive advantages that raise its likelihood of becoming a global offshoring leader, given the country’s unique location and skillful young population.
 

He added that MCIT worked hand in hand with experts over the past few months to study Egypt's opportunities in the global offshoring market.

“As a result, the strategy was developed. I look forward to cooperating with local and international companies to further grow the local offshoring industry”, Talaat explained.

Talaat also noted that MCIT invests in people through a broad range of training programs that meet market needs.
