Why Egypt?
Why Egypt, you may ask. There are numerous reasons; here are just a few.
The Prime Minister of Egypt, Dr. Ahmed Nazif, is confident that "The IT sector in Egypt holds a great promise for further growth and development."
The Economist Magazine ranked third among 25 emerging markets for economic performance for the year 2002. It is increasingly considered the centre for IT and Communications both in the Middle East and North Africa.
Egypt is also emerging as a market with extensive investment opportunities, especially with its ideal geographic position. It links the Mediterranean, Europe, and the Arab world and is the gateway to Africa. As Egypt maintains its notable financial and political stability, more investors will find themselves established in the SmartVillage.
This Smart Village is heading Africa in the right direction.
