According to GAFI CEO Hossam Heiba, the project falls within the framework of Egypt’s plan to localise information technology and data centre industries as part of the ongoing development in the country’s infrastructure sector.

Benya’s chair and CEO Ahmed Mekky said that this agreement will also bolster Benya Group’s access to the hyperscale data centre construction industry.
