ASBIS x AI Everything Egypt: Shaping the future of Applied AI
Following an inspiring week in Cairo, ASBIS is grateful to have concluded our participation at AI Everything MEA Egypt 2026.
It was a privilege to stand alongside 350 global innovators and witness Egypt’s ambitious path toward a projected $42.7 billion AI-driven economic boost firsthand. Under the patronage of H.E. President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, the event established itself as the premier gateway for artificial intelligence innovation in the Middle East and Africa.
Strategic takeaways: the future of AI in the region
Our time at the summit reinforced several critical trends that will shape our product roadmap in the coming year:
- The multi-billion-dollar opportunity. With AI projected to contribute $42.7 billion to Egypt’s GDP by 2030, we are positioning our services to support this massive digital transformation across the public and private sectors.
- Localized intelligence. A major theme was the push for “Arabic-first” AI models. We are committed to ensuring our algorithms understand the linguistic and cultural nuances of the MEA region to deliver more accurate results for our clients.
- Infrastructure & security first. The event highlighted that AI is only as strong as its foundation. We had productive discussions on integrating advanced cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure to ensure our AI deployments are both scalable and secure.
- Collaborative ecosystems. From government officials to tech startups, the consensus was clear: partnership is key. We established several high-level connections that will pave the way for new pilot projects in the Egyptian market.
In light of these insights, businesses and organizations in the region are encouraged to consider leveraging AI solutions from global vendors available through ASBIS. Our expertise positions companies to navigate the rapidly changing artificial intelligence landscape and capitalize on significant growth opportunities.
