Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi met with Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, Minister of Communications and Information Technology Dr. Amr Talaat, and Military Academy Director Lieutenant-General Ashraf Zahir to discuss the “Digilians” initiative.
Presidential Spokesman Ambassador Mohamed El-Shennawy stated that the initiative aims to train young Egyptians in communications, IT, and software development to support digital transformation and economic growth. Minister Talaat outlined the initiative’s focus on high-demand fields such as AI, programming, cybersecurity, and digital arts, with open registration for individuals of all backgrounds nationwide.
Applications will be submitted digitally, with registration opening after Eid Al-Fitr. Participants will receive full residency in designated training facilities and gain practical experience through partnerships with international and local companies. The program offers advanced training tracks, including master’s degrees, targeting 5,000 trainees annually. With a budget of EGP 4 billion, it aims to boost Egypt’s digital workforce.
President El-Sisi emphasized transparency in the selection process to ensure credibility and maximize the program’s impact.
