Deloitte Deepens Digital Footprint in Egypt with Engineerex Summit Partnership

Deloitte’s Innovation Hub has been doubling down on its role in Egypt’s tech scene, and its return to Engineerex Summit 2025 made that pretty clear. The event took over The Greek Campus in mid‑December and, for the second year in a row, the Hub stepped in as the main partner. I’ve been to a few gatherings there myself over the years, and while parking can be a bit of a faff, the atmosphere is always buzzing with young engineers trying to figure out their next big move.

This time, Deloitte didn’t just show up — it served as the exclusive Lounge Partner, turning the space into a mix of recruitment corner, learning hub, and tech showcase. Across the two days, their team rolled out panel talks, masterclasses and hands‑on sessions covering everything from AI and data to cloud, DevOps, cybersecurity and platform engineering. I reckon that kind of breadth says a lot about how the Hub wants to position itself in Egypt’s fast‑evolving digital landscape.

Hani Girgis, the Hub’s CEO and Managing Partner, pointed out that their involvement is tied to a bigger goal: attracting and developing top talent across the country’s expanding tech sector. He highlighted how the Hub’s capabilities reflect the strength of Egyptian professionals and the potential the country still has waiting to be unlocked. By linking its experts with young engineers, the message was clear — this is about building future leaders who can push the digital economy forward.

On the flip side, COO Ahmed Salem said the summit itself acts as a reminder of why Egypt is emerging as one of the region’s strongest tech talent hubs. He spoke about meeting young developers who were not only ambitious but itching to take on more complex challenges. And believe it or not, even seasoned leaders get chuffed to bits when they see that kind of energy. Salem noted that their tech showcases weren’t just about flaunting capabilities but about giving young people a real glimpse of what’s possible when strong talent meets meaningful innovation.

The summit also built on Deloitte Innovation Hub’s earlier collaboration with Engineerex at the TechUp Women event in November. It seems the Hub is weaving together recruitment programmes, technical learning, and mentorship to help push Egypt further towards becoming a regional centre for digital excellence. At Arageek, we often hear founders talk about how tricky it is to find the right talent at the right time… well, I mean, initiatives like this certainly help ease that pressure a bit.

Deloitte’s team now includes more than 600 professionals and is expected to reach around 700 by the end of 2025. With expertise spanning AI, data, cloud, DevOps, cybersecurity and broader tech services, the Hub is giving young professionals more touchpoints with industry leaders and a chance to explore career paths in a space built around innovation. And if Egypt keeps momentum like this, its role in the region’s digital transformation won’t be slowing down any time soon — spot on, really, even if the pace can feel a little overwhelming for newcomers trying to keep up.
