What’s on
The event is held under the auspices of Raafat Hendy, Egypt’s Minister of Communications and Information Technology. Alongside the main exhibition and forum, four dedicated strands run on site: PAFIX (banking and fintech), AIDC² Expo (AI, data centres and cloud), Connecta (youth and future talent) and Innovation Arena (startups).
Connecta also includes an esports and gaming area, Connecta Play, and an AI Innovation Factory. The official site announces a high-level roundtable co-organised by Cairo ICT, the Arab ICT Organization (AICTO) and Smart Africa, centred on the argument that Africa and the Arab region need their own data centres, compute, networks and data to benefit fully from AI. The schedule and speaker list are published on the event website.
