Presented by GITEX GLOBAL, the world’s largest technology and AI events network, Ai Everything MEA Egypt is organized by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) in partnership with the Information Technology Industry Development Agency (ITIDA). 

The summit positions Cairo as a regional hub for innovation and a bridge connecting Africa, the Middle East, and global technology ecosystems.
