Egypt launched the first government data center

The Data and Cloud Computing Center is the first center for analyzing and processing big data and artificial intelligence in Egypt and North Africa, saving time, effort and money, thus enhancing new investment opportunities.

The center works to provide critical applications, payment, as well as applications related to artificial intelligence and big data analysis for decision-making at all levels. Situated along the Ain Sokhna highway, the center spans 23,500 square meters, with 10,000 square meters designated for current infrastructure and the remainder reserved for future expansions.

“The state spent billions of dollars in order to prepare an integrated infrastructure in this regard and the opening of the Government Data and Cloud Computing Center today prepares Egypt to take its place in a world that is progressing rapidly in an accelerating pace,”  said President Abdel Fattah El Sisi who attended the inauguration of Government Data and Cloud Computing Center in Ain El-Sokhna Road.
