NVIDIA spotlights Egypt AI ecosystem, data center investment and startup growth
NVIDIA held an AI ecosystem event at the Grand Egyptian Museum, using the gathering to highlight the growth of Egypt’s local AI industry, startup base, and infrastructure buildout. The event featured a keynote by Paolo Guglielmini, NVIDIA’s vice president for EMEA, along with discussions focused on full-stack AI development and deployment. NVIDIA also said enrollment in its Deep Learning Institute in Egypt has grown by more than 10x over the past year. On the infrastructure side, Egypt’s National Telecom Regulatory Authority has authorized Hassan Allam Data Centers to build and operate data centers in the country. Under that authorization, Hassan Allam Utilities and investment firm A15 have agreed to develop a new data center with an estimated investment of $400 million. NVIDIA also listed several Egypt-based members in its Inception program, including Aidera, Intella, Marses Robotics, Proteinea, Stakpak, Paymob, and Thndr. Their areas of work span enterprise intelligence, Arabic speech, robotics, AI protein design, open-source AI agents, and fintech. The company added that its VC Alliance has expanded in Egypt, with A15 and M Empire joining the program.
