Egypt integrates digital economy into new labour law framework

“Many companies today are built around digital transformation. Youth must take bold steps, and the Labour Law safeguards their rights,” Gobran said. He added that the ministry is adapting to meet both domestic and international labour market needs, including creating opportunities for Egyptians in European markets.

He was speaking during Huawei Technologies Egypt’s “Hire6” employment and training event.

“This forum represents a model partnership between the Ministry of Labour and Huawei to qualify and employ young people, supporting the state’s efforts to build digital capabilities, foster entrepreneurship, and invest in human capital,” he added.

The event, held under the theme of empowering Egypt’s youth, brought together government officials, industry leaders, and academic partners to highlight the country’s growing demand for digital skills and the private sector’s role in supporting the national digital transformation strategy. It was organized in collaboration with Egypt’s Ministry of Labour.

Dou Yong, Vice President of Huawei Technologies Egypt, reaffirmed the company’s long-term commitment to building Egypt’s digital talent ecosystem. “Our mission has evolved from providing technology to transferring knowledge,” he said, noting that Huawei has partnered with 65 universities and institutions to establish over 160 ICT Academies, training more than 60,000 students and supporting international certifications and competitions.
