Ericsson and the Information Technology Industry Development Agency have formalized a three-year partnership to advance Egypt’s information and communications technology sector through workforce development and digital infrastructure expansion. The agreement was signed during the Global Offshoring Summit 2025, attended by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, and forms part of 55 corporate commitments supporting the Digital Egypt Strategy for the Offshoring Industry through 2026.
