AI Everything MEA Egypt 2026 launches in Cairo from 11–12 February 2026, marking the region’s most influential gathering for AI innovation. Organised by GITEX GLOBAL and hosted by Egypt’s Ministry of Communications & Information Technology (MCIT) in strategic partnership with ITIDA, the event unites the world’s top AI leaders, enterprises, startups, policymakers, and investors from 60+ countries for a transformative week.

This is where Egypt’s AI momentum takes centre stage — as the country accelerates its National AI Strategy 2025–2030, projected to deliver a US $42.7 billion GDP uplift.

The backdrop is powerful:

Egypt is experiencing an unprecedented surge in global investor confidence, with FDI skyrocketing from US $10 billion in 2023 to US $47 billion in 2024, while local startups raised US $330 million in the first five months of 2025 alone.
