Egypt aims to become a global data transfer and communications hub: SisiAhram Online , Sunday 28 Apr 2024President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi said Egypt aims to become a major hub for global data transfer and communications.The president's remarks came during his inauguration of the country's first national data hub on Sunday.All ministry data will be stored in the new hub, which is secured against cyber-attacks and unauthorized access.Located on the Ain Sokhna highway, the centre covers an area of 23,500 square metres, with 10,000 square metres allocated for current constructions and the remainder for future expansions.The centre will promote the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the government sector by providing AI and data analysis applications for decision-making at all levels. It will also serve as a centralized national data and disaster recovery centre.Moreover, it will also ensure self-management, operational efficiency, and privacy for projects like smart ports that will facilitate imports and exports."It was necessary to prepare comprehensive infrastructure. Therefore, we find that the amount of money spent on today's inaugurations is significant; we're not talking about billions of pounds but dollars," El-Sisi said.The president continued: "Many may wonder why all this money is being spent and what is the benefit? We are preparing the country for a real takeoff in a rapidly advancing world in all fields."El-Sisi noted the government can now collaborate, exchange information, and make decisions through computer screens, thereby enhancing accuracy and work efficiency. The new hub is capable of providing precise and timely data to government agencies, he noted. (ICE IL CAIRO)
