IDC Egypt CIO Summit 2023

Egypt's dynamic digital economy continues to expand in scale and sophistication at an unprecedented rate, driving the transformation of citizen, customer, and employee experiences and the rise of digitally enabled services such as remote healthcare, distance learning, remote work, and mobile banking.

The last few years have seen the emergence of digital-native firms, equipped with new business models and armed with substantial venture capital funding. Despite economic headwinds such as currency volatility, high import duties, and inflation, in the longer term, the government's reforms will lead to an increased influx of FDI. In the interim, technology continues to disrupt supply chains in numerous industries, fueling growth in areas such as ecommerce, direct-to-consumer services, digital payments, and cloud kitchens. With the metaverse and Web3 paradigms on the horizon, further disruption is expected to individual, enterprise, and industrial digital experiences. Egypt's ICT sector growth, which has accelerated due to a series of government investments, capacity-building initiatives, and training programs, is helping to drive Egypt's digital transformation, positioning the country as a potential regional technology hub. Propelled by an enabling government, massive digital transformation projects will continue to shape Egypt's future, with multiple government bodies and government-owned companies engaging consulting firms to develop their IT and business strategies and long-term investment road maps.

The IDC Egypt CIO Summit 2023 will bring together the region's foremost IT and telecom leaders, digital government pioneers, digital regulators and authorities, and industry thought leaders.

Hosting Egypt's most prominent CTOs, and CIOs and senior IT executives, the event will examine the current state of the digital economy, assess its ongoing impact on citizens, customers, employees, and operations, address the key challenges that need to be overcome, and outline proven best practices and strategies for driving future success.
