EAPD invites 27 journalists from sub-Saharan Africa to visit Smart Village

The Egyptian Agency of Partnership for Development (EAPD) has on Monday organised a tour for 27 journalists from sub-Saharan Africa to the Smart Village in the Cairo-Alexandria desert road.

Smart Village, which is located on one million metres of land, is home for 180 companies. A minimum of 80,000 people work in many different companies there after Egypt had opened business activities there.

Up to 85 percent of the institute’s graduates usually got jobs before graduating, a cyber-security expert in the institute Mohammed Ali, added.

The building of the Smart Village started 29 years ago to serve a special purpose for Egypt, the facility’s marketing manager Piney Mohammed, said.

The Village located in the Al Ziza Desert in the Giza Governorate of Cairo. Also, it combines the headquarters of the Egyptian Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and the country’s Information Technology Institute.
