In line with the state's vision to boost digital exports and open new horizons for Egyptian technology products in global markets, civil society organizations concerned with technology, in partnership with the Chamber of Information and Communications Technology Industry (CIT), the Eitesal Association, and the Digital Economy and Technology Division (DETGE), are preparing to provide opportunities to participate in both GITEX Kenya (GITEX AI Everything – Kenya), which will be held in Nairobi, Kenya, from May 19-21, and GITEX Berlin (GITEX Europe – Berlin), which will be held in Berlin, Germany, from June 30 to July 1, 2026.

These events aim to support the entry of Egyptian companies into international markets, providing a distinguished platform for showcasing technological solutions, building international partnerships (Business Matching), and exploring expansion opportunities in African and European markets.

The participation of technology companies in these exhibitions represents a significant step towards enhancing the openness of Egyptian companies to European markets, particularly the German market, which is one of the largest and most advanced high-value markets, as well as the African market, especially Kenya, which is one of the fastest-growing emerging markets.

Through this participation, civil society organizations seek to connect Egyptian companies offering innovative technological solutions directly with international investors and partners, enabling them to present their solutions and ideas, thus allowing them access to new growth opportunities and accelerating their global expansion.

The three organizations aim to empower Egyptian technology companies to access European and African markets by enhancing networking opportunities with strategic partners and building collaborative relationships with major international companies, in addition to connecting them with investors and investment funds, which will contribute to accelerating their growth and supporting their international expansion plans.

The organization of participation in these exhibitions by civil society organizations comes in light of the positive results achieved by the companies participating in many foreign exhibitions, whether in terms of contracts, agreements concluded, or partnerships, in addition to the desire to enhance future cooperation with their clients in both the European and African continents.
