Intel has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Egypt’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology to help expand AI awareness and skills among citizens.
As a result, the technology giant will aim to train one million people each year in basic AI concepts, the safe and responsible use of the technology and digital trust, in a three-year period.
The agreement is part of efforts to support Egypt’s National AI Strategy, which seeks to increase the economic and social benefits of AI and build the country’s digital capabilities by 2030.
Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Raafat Hindi said: “Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a key driver of economic competitiveness, development efforts and improved public services.
“The second edition of Egypt’s National AI Strategy (2025-2030) aims to maximise the benefits of AI technologies and enhance their economic and social impact.”
According to Hindi, partnerships with leading global AI companies would help turn the strategy’s goals into practical programmes that build local skills and give citizens greater access to AI.
Additionally, he added that the ministry is committed to promoting the safe and responsible use of AI and helping people develop the skills they need to keep up with the digital age.
Intel’s General Manager for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Gisselle Ruiz Lanza, continued: “The cooperation reflects a shared ambition to make AI accessible, practical and useful to everyone through the launch of the AI for Citizens initiative, one of Intel’s digital programs.”
Hoda Baraka, the Minister’s Adviser for Technological Skills Development, claimed the partnership will help people from different backgrounds understand how AI can be used in their daily lives and work.
She also highlighted plans to train instructors who can pass on their knowledge and reach more people.
Taha Khalifa, Intel’s General Manager for the Middle East and Africa, agreed and said the move would help young people, teachers, businesses and institutions gain the skills and confidence to use AI to tackle real-world challenges, he concluded.
