Egypt is working toward reforming digital service policies and upgrading its infrastructure to expand its Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector for economic growth. It is also seeking new investments to scale its digital infrastructure as data demand has increased in the past few years. 

“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Khazna, which will enable us to enter the hyper-scale data center construction sector with full force,” said Ahmed Mekky, Chairman and CEO of Benya Group. He added, “The new hyper-scale data center will not only meet the needs of the Egyptian market but also, through its extensive capabilities, serve African and Middle Eastern countries.”

The construction of the new data center is expected to start later this year and be completed in the next three years. 

This will also support Khazna’s growth strategy into international markets, reinforcing its commitment to expand operations beyond the UAE.
