Benya Group at Cairo ICT 2026: Digital Infrastructure, Fiber Optics and AI Data Centers Drive Egypt’s Technology Growth
Benya Group is strengthening its role in Egypt’s digital infrastructure ecosystem through investments and partnerships spanning fiber-optic networks, data centers, cloud services, cybersecurity, telecommunications and systems integration.
The group describes itself as a provider of digital solutions and ICT infrastructure across Egypt and the Middle East and Africa, with subsidiaries covering several areas of the technology value chain.
Building the Infrastructure Behind Digital Transformation
Benya Group's activities cover the infrastructure required to support digital services, including telecommunications, cloud and security solutions, hyperscale data centers, technology manufacturing and systems integration.
Through its subsidiaries, the group works across different stages of ICT infrastructure development, positioning connectivity and digital infrastructure as foundations for the expansion of Egypt's digital economy.
Benya Cables Expands Egypt’s Fiber-Optic Manufacturing
One of Benya Group's most significant infrastructure projects is Benya Cables, an optical-fiber cable manufacturing operation being developed in the Suez Canal Economic Zone in Ain Sokhna.
The project is being developed in partnership with the Arab Organization for Industrialization, with cooperation involving international fiber-optic technology expertise.
According to the Arab Organization for Industrialization, the factory is designed to support local manufacturing, reduce dependence on imports, increase local added value and create export opportunities for African and Arab markets.
The factory represents a strategic component of Egypt's efforts to strengthen domestic ICT manufacturing and provide the fiber-optic infrastructure required for expanding connectivity and digital services.
Data Centers and AI Infrastructure
Benya is also expanding its focus on data center infrastructure as demand for cloud computing and artificial intelligence increases.
The group has highlighted AI infrastructure, data centers and digital transformation among its areas of focus, including participation in technology events dedicated to AI and data center infrastructure.
In April 2026, Benya Group signed a cooperation framework with ALE International, operating under the Alcatel-Lucent brand, covering secure connectivity, network modernization, data center infrastructure and cloud-based services.
The agreement specifically targets the digital foundations required to support enterprise growth, public-sector modernization and emerging AI workloads in Egypt.
Strengthening Cloud and Secure Connectivity
The group's expansion strategy extends beyond physical infrastructure to include cloud services, cybersecurity and secure connectivity.
Benya's portfolio includes solutions covering telecommunications, cloud and security, while its technology subsidiaries provide systems integration and digital solutions for organizations in Egypt and the wider MEA region.
The cooperation with ALE International further supports this direction by combining connectivity and network modernization with data center and cloud capabilities.
A Broader ICT Infrastructure Ecosystem
Benya Group operates through several specialized businesses covering different areas of the ICT sector.
Benya Cables focuses on fiber-optic solutions and manufacturing, while Benya Engineering provides ICT infrastructure solutions and services covering project design and execution.
This structure allows the group to address multiple layers of digital infrastructure, from connectivity and physical networks to data centers, cloud environments and integrated technology solutions.
Benya Group and Cairo ICT
Benya has previously participated in major technology and infrastructure events in Egypt, including Cairo ICT-related activities and AIDC events focused on artificial intelligence, data centers and cloud technologies.
With Cairo ICT 2026 placing artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure at the center of its agenda, Benya's focus on fiber optics, data centers, cloud technologies and secure connectivity aligns closely with the infrastructure requirements of the AI-driven economy.
As Egypt continues to expand its digital transformation programs, Benya Group is positioning its businesses across the ICT value chain to support the connectivity and infrastructure needed for the next generation of digital services.
