Ahmed El-Wakil: Investing in national talent is the path to attracting technology to Egypt
Mr. Ahmed El-Wakil, Chairman of the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce, emphasized the importance of supporting and developing national talent in the telecommunications and information technology sector. El-Wakil pointed out that this support is the first and essential step toward attracting more foreign technological investments to the Egyptian market.
The Federation's vision is based on the idea that Egyptian youth possess high technical skills, and if the appropriate environment is provided for them, they will become the main engine of economic growth. El-Wakil believes that global companies are always looking for countries that provide trained and professional labor, which is what Egypt seeks to achieve in the coming period.
These statements come at a time when the Egyptian state is seeking to enhance digital transformation across various sectors. Experts confirm that investing in human capital and training programmers and engineers is the fastest way to increase the efficiency of the national economy and boost digital service exports.
In concluding his remarks, the Chairman of the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce stressed the necessity of cooperation between the public and private sectors to provide advanced training programs. The goal is to bridge the gap between academic education and the needs of the global labor market, ensuring Egypt a distinguished position as a regional technology hub in the region.
