FinTech Egypt launches first national digital academy

The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) launched the academy to become a globally recognised fintech hub, home to next generation financial services, talent and innovative development, and in alignment with Egypt's 2030 vision. 

The academy will provide internationally accredited training programmes, virtually and physically, with its first pilot  Innovator Programme.

The programme will be launched in the first quarter of 2023 in collaboration with the Egyptian Banking Institute and the Centre for Finance, Technology, and Entrepreneurship.

The Innovator Programme is a six-month intensive programme designed to empower trainees through learning from highly qualified experts about artificial intelligence in finance, open banking, and digital payments, said the CBE.
