With the Egyptian government’s resolution many years ago to implement a serious and ambitious strategy for digital transformation across all sectors, “Benya Group” has successfully carried out a number of governmental and private sector projects. As a result, the group has become the primary provider of digital infrastructure for various promising projects in other parts of the region, even expanded its strategic projects to serve the African continent.
