In line with the Egypt Vision 2030, the Egyptian Government has announced New Administrative Capital (NAC), a large-scale project of a new capital city for economic and social upliftment.

NAC is a 'Smart City', and the government is investing profoundly in its telecommunication and ICT infrastructure amenities. Under the NAC plan, they are planning to build a 'Knowledge City', which will be an applied research centre for technology to facilitate technical training, software and applications development, and data design. The Knowledge City is estimated to cost a total of 12 billion Egyptian Pounds (USD 750 million).

The Egyptian MICT is also finishing six technology parks in the cities of Minya, Menoufiya, Mansoura, Sohag, Qena and Aswan. These parks are aimed at supporting entrepreneurship and innovation and will consist of hardware design labs, startup incubators and training institutions and integrated systems for AI, Data Science, and Cyber Security.
