Technology empowerment in all facets of life
The government is taking enormous strides towards developing the ICT industry. Egypt paid respect to the high impact of ICT on the national economy since the 1980’s. In this connection, Information Decision Support Center (IDSC), Information Technology Institute (iTi) and Internet Society of Egypt were the keystones.
By the nineties, a dedicated Ministry for Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) came into force. The third millennium heralded a masterplan that integrated ICT as a core component of development. Since 2010, our domestic ICT industry became innovation-oriented.
The Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center was inaugurated in Smart Village on September 27, 2010. TIEC aims to drive innovation and entrepreneurship in the local industry to ensure ICT benefits to both people and businesses. The Center strives to contribute heavily to the national economy.
Innovation recognition - the Center is branding, publicizing, and celebrating entrepreneurship.
Supporting businesses - TIEC bolsters R&D in the local ICT industry, observes iClusters, funds startups, and promotes Egypt as offshoring destination.
