Orange Egypt has partnered with Paragon Adeer and Plug and Play to launch Egypt’s first artificial intelligence campus, an initiative aimed at supporting the creation of 100 AI startups by 2030.
The project, announced following a memorandum of understanding signed at the Grand Egyptian Museum, will be located within the Sumou Boulevard development in New Cairo and span roughly 500 acres. It is designed to be a regional innovation hub linking startups, investors, and technology partners across the Middle East and Africa.
The campus will anchor the “AI 100” programme, a multi-year initiative focused on scaling growth-stage AI companies through training, mentorship and access to capital. The programme is expected to provide bootcamps, technical workshops and investment-readiness support to help startups expand into international markets.
Under the agreement, Orange Egypt will lead the development of the campus’s digital infrastructure, deploying 5G connectivity, Internet of Things solutions and advanced communication systems to create a fully integrated innovation environment.
The initiative is positioned as part of a broader effort to strengthen Egypt’s digital economy by combining infrastructure, talent development and global investment networks. It is also aligned with national ambitions to accelerate technological innovation and build capacity in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence.
The development reflects a broader regional trend toward establishing integrated tech ecosystems that nurture startups and scale AI-driven enterprises across Africa and the Middle East.
