Representing the province’s Department of Economy and Information Technology, the delegation was headed by Mr. Chen Jiaxiang, Deputy Director-General of the Department, alongside several senior leaders and officials specializing in industry and the digital economy.
Showcasing the Egyptian Experience and Talent Development
The visit aimed to gain firsthand insight into the pioneering experience of the National Telecommunication Institute—serving as the training and executive arm of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT)—in qualifying human cadres and building capacities to meet labor market demands and serve industries locally and regionally.
Prospects for Cooperation in AI and the Digital Economy
During the meeting, chaired by Dr. Ahmed Khattab, Director of the National Telecommunication Institute, both sides discussed ways to strengthen joint cooperation and exchange expertise in the fields of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), while reviewing the most prominent developments witnessed by the sector in Egypt. The talks also explored partnership opportunities in developing and deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications, supporting digital transformation and digital economy pathways, and fostering knowledge transfer, technology exchange, and innovation between NTI and tech institutions in Zhejiang Province.
Hosting Specialized Chinese Academies Under NTI’s Umbrella
The meeting further examined mechanisms for cooperation to host specialized Chinese academies dedicated to training and qualification in cutting-edge technologies, integrating them into the ecosystem of international academies operating under the umbrella of the National Telecommunication Institute.
It is worth noting that NTI maintains partnerships with leading global tech academies—including Cisco, Huawei, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Red Hat—which provide advanced hands-on training in networking, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and cloud computing to prepare trainees for internationally accredited certifications, aligning with the Institute’s strategy to expand its network of international relations and partnerships.
