Egyptian company X-GEN, specializing in robotics, drones, smart systems and autonomous solutions, has announced the signing of three strategic memorandums of understanding with leading international technology companies during its participation in Cairo ICT 2026, held from November 7 to 10.

The agreements involve China-based Hollyway and PUDU Robotics, as well as Saudi Arabia’s HPAC, the Middle East distributor of French drone technology company DRONE VOLT.

The partnerships aim to combine global technological innovation with Egyptian engineering and operational expertise to develop integrated solutions for infrastructure, industry, agriculture, facility management, logistics and other strategic sectors.

Hollyway: Autonomous Drone Solutions

Under its exclusive partnership with China’s Hollyway in Egypt, X-GEN will introduce the advanced Iron Dock technology, which enables autonomous drone operations for smart inspections, remote monitoring and infrastructure and facility surveillance.

The technology is designed to improve operational efficiency, support asset monitoring and help identify potential risks at an early stage.

PUDU Robotics: Advanced Smart Robotics

X-GEN has become PUDU Robotics’ first partner in Africa, opening the way for a broad portfolio of advanced robotic solutions in the Egyptian market.

The portfolio includes autonomous cleaning robots, industrial logistics and material-handling robots, smart service and delivery robots, as well as quadruped, humanoid and semi-humanoid robots.

These technologies aim to improve productivity, operational efficiency and workplace safety by taking over repetitive or potentially hazardous tasks, allowing employees to focus on higher-value activities.

DRONE VOLT and HPAC: Integrated Drone Technologies

The third MoU brings together X-GEN, French drone technology company DRONE VOLT and its Middle East distributor, Saudi-based HPAC.

The cooperation will focus on expanding professional drone solutions and developing their applications across different sectors, with an emphasis on Egypt while exploring opportunities for reciprocal cooperation in Saudi Arabia.

The parties aim to integrate their products and solutions in both markets, explore joint product development and introduce specialized applications tailored to sector-specific requirements.

The partnership goes beyond conventional equipment distribution, focusing on integrated technology solutions developed around the operational challenges facing institutions and businesses.

DRONE VOLT’s technologies cover industrial inspection, surveillance, thermal imaging, surface treatment, search and rescue, serving sectors such as energy, construction, civil engineering and security.

X-GEN CEO: Combining Global Technology with Egyptian Expertise

Commenting on the agreements, Amir Waheed, Co-Founder and CEO of X-GEN, said Egypt has the talent, engineering expertise and ambition needed to become an influential player in advanced technology.

He explained that the partnerships are not simply intended to introduce robots and drones into the market, but to combine international innovation with Egyptian capabilities to develop practical solutions that address real challenges, improve productivity and generate sustainable added value.

Waheed added that X-GEN aims to act as a strategic technology partner for different sectors by first understanding their operational challenges and then delivering solutions suited to their needs.

He noted that the international partnerships will help strengthen Egypt’s technological capabilities and create new opportunities for regional cooperation and expansion.

Building an Integrated Technology Ecosystem

The three agreements reflect X-GEN’s strategy to build an integrated technology ecosystem combining advanced global solutions with Egyptian engineering, technical and operational expertise.

The company focuses on developing solutions tailored to each sector rather than simply supplying standalone products, supporting digital transformation and improving operational efficiency, productivity and safety.

The partnerships were announced during X-GEN’s participation in Cairo ICT 2026, where the company showcased robotics, drone and smart-system solutions and their practical applications across multiple industries.
