SUPPORTING QUOTES
Dr. Magued Osman, Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Cairo, Egypt

“The priority of the Ministry nowadays is to continue building on the successes of the sector throughout the past 10 years, boosting efficiency and performance across all sectors and actively driving national economic growth.

MCIT’s achievements have had a positive impact on all facets of life. Across various tracks, the ministry has worked to develop nationwide telecommunications infrastructure, to use ICT in the development of education, health and other key sectors, and to provide an enabling environment for investment, research and development (R&D) and entrepreneurship – all with a view to creating opportunities, for individuals, business and society. And in all areas of activity, MCIT has sought to develop the human resources necessary to guarantee the success and sustainability of its programs and initiatives.

Looking forward, we view the Egyptian ICT sector as an enabler and safe haven for foreign investments, allowing Egypt to continue its position as a hub for off shoring & outsourcing, and creating job opportunities. We are sure that efforts in this direction will contribute positively to economic recovery that Egypt is seeking as a part of the aspiration and demands of Egyptian people in the after revolution phase.

I am pleased to witness Motorola’s inauguration event, which contributes to Egypt’s vision for economic growth not only in generating new jobs for the country, but further cementing Egypt’s position as a hub for technology and trade.”
