Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi has inaugurated the 24th session of Cairo ICT 2020
Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi has inaugurated the 24th session of the Cairo International Exhibition for Information and Communication Technology (Cairo ICT 2020), which this year is being held under the slogan “The Big Reset”.
Cairo ICT 2020 kicked off on Sunday the 22nd of November, held at the Egypt International Exhibition Center (EIEC) in New Cairo.
Osama Kamal, CEO of Trade Fairs International, expressed his happiness with the exhibition’s launch. This is particularly as the exhibition has become the main platform in which all institutions, bodies, and companies, compete to review their latest projects and technological solutions.
Kamal added that the exhibition’s current session is considered an exceptional session, in the full sense of the word. It is taking place at an important time, and will serve to highlight the significance of technology and the need to accelerate the shift away from a traditional lifestyle.
It is also particularly relevant due to the accelerated digital transformation caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which demonstrated that technology is no longer a luxury, but a cornerstone of our lives.
“We decided to choose the slogan for this year’s session of the exhibition to emphasise the current stage, in which we are starting a major and radical change at all levels,” he said, “People’s interests change, institutions’ interests change, consumer interests change, government interest changes, and all these changes are heralded by technology.”
Cairo ICT 2020 ``THE BIG RESET``
The Big Reset: We are in the middle of Big Reset, a new way of thinking about life, business, and the global economy. Cairo ICT 2020 will focus and outline some of the next steps that will help governments, public and private sectors to adapt quickly to this new reality.
Is Cairo ICT 2020 Essential?
It goes without saying the world needs to either restart or evolve; but for this part of the world (the Middle East and Africa), the choices are even slimmer. A reset is perhaps a God-sent opportunity to open a clean sheet, set new priorities and realize that any delay in pursuing the latest in technology can never be a luxury anymore.
Just three years ago, we chose “Disruption ERA” as a slogan and theme for Cairo ICT 2017; we approached the topic of digital transformation from a technology disruption perspective. The main concept was “how can technology help government, public and private sectors adapt to a fast-changing technology-powered world?”
We also focused on how mature or otherwise compulsory companies could borrow principles and the process from disruptive startups to jump-start their businesses ahead of competition in a fast-changing ecosystem.
Looking back on such technologies, principles and methodologies presented at Cairo ICT 2017, we see how they apply to the current tsunami of disruptions, currently sweeping the globe: The COVID-19 pandemic.
President Sisi @ Cairo ICT for the 6th Consecutive Year
For this and for many more reasons,
Cairo ICT is mandatory, not only essential. Now is the time to listen; now is the time to carefully watch; but now is not the time to tread carefully, rather move rapidly and boldly. Cairo ICT 2020 is no more a place for window-shopping, but a platform for very selective decision-makers to meet one another and press forward.
The main difference between transforming now in during The Big Reset times versus doing it in response to earlier technology disruptions is the significantly accelerated timeline. What you may have been able to spend 12 months considering a couple of years ago, you may have to build in 12 days. Action is of the essence now, more than ever.
“The mission of Cairo ICT 2020 is to help the region transform; not just transform but transform better and faster than ever for a much-needed-better-future”
