When and where is Cairo ICT 2026?

The official event website lists the 30th edition for 7–10 November 2026 at the Egypt International Exhibition Center, New Cairo. Its headline theme is “AI in Action”, with an emphasis on moving artificial intelligence from demonstrations and discussion into deployed services and business use.

The organiser’s current website lists more than 580 exhibiting companies, 550+ speakers and 95 panel discussions. These are organiser-published event figures and may be updated as the programme develops.

Which technology areas are in focus?

The event programme spans more than consumer gadgets. The official site highlights AI across telecoms, banking, health, education, government, security, energy, agriculture and water, media, entertainment, real estate and marketing.

Why should PC builders and creators pay attention?

1. AI infrastructure is becoming a local business topic

Data centres, accelerators, high-speed networking, storage and power infrastructure are central to the AI conversation. For PC enthusiasts, the useful question is not simply which AI chip is newest; it is how compute demand changes the wider hardware ecosystem and what workloads genuinely need local hardware.

For background, read Alfrensia’s coverage of AI computing in Egypt and data-centre plans, plus our explanation of cloud AI versus running AI locally on a PC.

2. Physical AI connects software to real machines

Robotics, simulation, digital twins and industrial automation show how AI can move beyond a chatbot or a cloud service. These systems can involve sensors, edge computing, GPUs and reliable networks. Our guide to physical AI, digital twins and sim-to-real training provides useful context.

3. Cybersecurity and data sovereignty matter

As more organisations deploy AI, questions around where data is stored, who can access it, how systems are secured and how services remain available become practical infrastructure concerns — not just policy topics.

What to look for during the four days

• Concrete announcements about data-centre capacity, cloud services and AI compute infrastructure.
• Real deployments and measurable results rather than AI demonstrations without a clear use case.
• Local-language AI, Arabic applications and tools designed for regional needs.
• Cybersecurity, identity, data governance and protection of critical infrastructure.
• Training, internships and employer programmes through Connecta and related initiatives.
