Three State-Owned Data Centres Launched Under National Strategy

Egypt is moving forward with plans to establish three fully government-owned data centres, as announced by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly during a meeting in the New Administrative Capital. The facilities are positioned to host government applications and data across ministries. The facilities will underpin a broader data infrastructure initiative aligned with the country’s National Digital Strategy, designed to support government applications, private-sector engagement and advanced cloud-computing capabilities. Communications Minister Amr Talaat emphasised the role these centres will play in setting up “smart regional hubs” across governorates. According to the Cabinet spokesman, the three data centres are fully operational and integrated with other national digital assets, and further incentives will be announced to attract investment in smart data centre and cloud services.
