Egypt to Spend Up to $860 Million a Year on Data Centers Through 2030

Egypt plans to allocate up to $860 million a year from its public budget starting in fiscal 2026-27 to expand data centers and computing through 2030. The move is part of a broader push to build out digital infrastructure and strengthen the country’s technology capacity, with funding spread over several years. It matters because data centers support cloud services, government systems, and business operations, and the investment could help Egypt compete for more regional tech and digital-services activity.
