Amidst increasing demands for locally produced smartphones, Egypt is set to revolutionize its manufacturing industry. Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Amr Talaat, revealed ambitious plans to propel the country towards self-sufficiency and global competitiveness.


New Players, New Opportunities
Leading the charge is multinational giant Samsung, establishing a cutting-edge factory in Beni Suef with a production capacity of 2 million units. This strategic investment not only boosts the local economy with 400 job opportunities but also signals Egypt’s emergence as a key player in the tech market.


Diversifying the Market
Joining Samsung are other tech giants like Xiaomi, Nokia, Infinix, and Micromax, collectively contributing around 7.5 million units to Egypt’s smartphone manufacturing capacity. Recent collaborations, such as Nokia’s partnership with SEICO in Assiut, underline the industry’s growth trajectory and commitment to innovation.


A Government Focused on Growth
Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly reaffirmed the government’s dedication to fostering a thriving phone manufacturing sector. Madbouly emphasized the importance of domestic production for both local consumption and international trade, signaling a new chapter in Egypt’s industrial landscape.


Pioneering Partnerships for Progress
Recent discussions with Samsung’s Board Chairman, John Su Jong, cemented plans for a state-of-the-art facility spanning 6,000 square meters in Beni Suef. This venture promises to create 1400 direct and indirect job opportunities, showcasing a collaborative effort between global expertise and Egyptian craftsmanship. With the project set to commence in the final quarter of this year, Egypt is poised to reshape its tech industry and propel local talents to new heights.
