Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center 5

Traditional differentiators are unsustainable over the long term

The ability to ‘out-innovate’ competitors is especially relevant in ICT

Innovation can provide long term and sustainable differentiators that enable ICT sector growth

Innovation can provide social benefits in the form of employment, efficiency, and quality of life, and do so more effectively than other potential actions

Moreover, Egypt’s current ICT strategic direction provides a strong base from which to start

Why Egypt needs to Embrace Innovation?

“ To Enable Egypt to become the leading regional hub and world-class destination for ICT-based Innovation & Entrepreneurship “
