As Deloitte’s first center dedicated to exporting digital services from Egypt, the hub aims to broaden the company’s global footprint in digital services.

The Deloitte Innovation Hub will offer services to clients in Europe and the wider region, focusing on artificial intelligence, data analysis, cloud technology, cybersecurity, and enterprise resource planning.

Deloitte envisions the hub supporting 5,000 jobs in the coming years, diversifying its service offerings and expanding its impact across various business sectors.

Hani Girgis, leader of the Innovation Hub, emphasized that the hub is designed to foster local talent, bring value to Egyptian society, and support clients across Europe and the Middle East.

Minister Talaat echoed this sentiment, highlighting Egypt’s appeal as a strategic location for IT and digital innovation, driven by its skilled young workforce and the government’s commitment to job creation and digital exports.

The Egyptian government has set ambitious goals.

Digital exports reached $6.2 billion in 2023, marking a 26% increase from $4.9 billion in 2022.

The government aims to create high-value jobs for youth and build a knowledge-based economy. It plans to train more youth in digital skills, freelancing, and outsourcing to achieve $3.7 billion in digital exports by 2024 and $9 billion by 2026.

Egypt has seen increasing investments from international tech companies, including Telecom Egypt and Huawei Cloud.

The latter recently announced plans to launch the first public cloud platform in Egypt and North Africa, supporting the nation’s digital transformation strategy.
