ITIDA strategically positions Egypt as a global hub for outsourcing and technology innovation. Its initiatives aim to grow the industry, cultivate tech talent, and enhance Egypt’s competitiveness worldwide.

"Through specialized training programmes, we aim to prepare our youth for roles in digital transformation and the offshoring industry," he added.

The agency's efforts to attract global players yielded impressive results, with Egypt's outsourcing exports increasing from $2.4 billion to $3.7 billion in the past year. The country’s strategic location, robust infrastructure, and supportive government policies enhance its attractiveness to IT offshoring businesses.

The event highlighted the rising demand for skilled IT professionals in Egypt.

Data revealed a significant need for various technology roles, with “Full Stack Developer” positions leading the demand at nearly 12 percent of total job openings. This was followed by “Design Engineer” roles at 8.5 percent and “CRM Engineer” and “Mobile Applications Developer” positions, each accounting for 6.1 percent. Additionally, “Back-End Developer” roles made up 5.3 percent. Meanwhile, “Software Testing Engineer” and “Data Scientist” positions represented 4.4 percent and 4.1 percent, respectively.

By empowering Egyptian youth and bridging the gap between academia and industry, ITIDA's employment fair plays a vital role in advancing Egypt's digital transformation and establishing the country as a global tech hub.

Egypt’s ICT sector has emerged as a key driver of economic growth, maintaining its status as the fastest-growing state sector for the sixth consecutive year. This growth is fueled by strategic government investments in digital transformation, a skilled talent pool, rising demand for offshoring and outsourcing, and policies that foster innovation and technology-driven growth.
