The Minister of Communications and Information Technology Dr. Amr Talaat Visits Apex

We were honored and delighted to host His Excellency Dr. Amr Talaat, Egypt’s Minister of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), during his visit to our headquarters in Luxor. The visit was part of the Minister’s tour to support small and medium-sized IT companies and encourage digital entrepreneurship across Upper Egypt.

Apex was highlighted as a distinguished model of digital entrepreneurship emerging from Upper Egypt. Founded and led by a pioneering Egyptian engineer from the region, our company specializes in Educational Technology (EdTech) and Software Development.

During the visit, Dr. Talaat, accompanied by officials, including Abdel-Muttalib Amara the Governor of Luxor, Ahmed Elzaher CEO of the Information Technology Industry Development Agency (ITIDA), and Mahmoud Sofrata Vice President for ICT Markets Development at ITIDA, was briefed on our core activities and achievements and heard from trainees and parents, who praised the quality of educational content and emphasized their interest in equipping children with programming and computer science skills.

A key focus of the discussion was our dedication to building digital capacity. We proudly showcased our programs specialized in teaching programming and computer science in Arabic to children and youth aged 6 to 15. Our digital platform and academy hold the prestigious STEM.org Educational Program Accreditation, reflecting our commitment to global educational standards and excellence.

Our founder and CEO, Eng. Nihad El-Adly presented an overview of the center’s success, highlighting that we have successfully trained over 6,100 students since our establishment in 2018. She also noted the success of our trainees in winning top ranks in international competitions, underscoring the potential of youth in Upper Egypt.

The visit also acknowledged Apex’s success in exporting digital services. In addition to our EdTech focus, we provide website development and hosting services to clients in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Austria. This demonstrates the company’s capability to compete globally and contribute to Egypt’s goal of increasing digital exports.
Dr. Talaat emphasized the Ministry’s full support for initiatives that develop the digital skills of young people across all governorates, affirming the importance of investing in youth to build a promising digital future.

During his visit, Dr. Amr Talaat emphasized the importance of the project, noting that it represents a significant step in providing specialized training programs for Luxor residents, starting from an early age through the end of high school. He added that the ministry has agreed with the company to collaborate with the Information Technology Institute (ITI) to provide advanced training programs, including freelance skills and modern digital technologies, to prepare a generation capable of keeping pace with developments in the local and international labor market.

Apex is deeply grateful for the Minister’s visit and the ongoing support from the Ministry of Communications and IT. This acknowledgment inspires us to further our mission of developing the next generation of digital leaders and enhancing Egypt’s position as a regional hub for technology and digital exports. We look forward to continuing our active collaboration with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology to support the growth of the local technology ecosystem, create high-value jobs, and ultimately contribute to Egypt’s digital future.
