Egypt’s Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Amr Talaat, confirmed that the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) has signed licensing agreements for Internet of Things (IoT) services with seven international companies. He described this move as a pivotal step in Egypt’s journey toward building a fully integrated digital society.
In televised remarks, Talaat explained that IoT simply means enabling various devices and equipment—not just humans—to connect to the internet. This opens the door for wide-ranging applications that include cars, household appliances, and other equipment.
He noted that modern vehicles are now equipped with internet connectivity, which prompted Egypt to establish a regulatory framework allowing this feature for citizens.
Talaat clarified that this feature grants users higher levels of safety and security, allowing a vehicle to send distress or alert signals in emergencies and to communicate with the manufacturer in case of technical malfunctions.
He emphasized that the expected proliferation of these connected vehicles in Egypt over the coming years will make the use of this technology an essential component of the national “Digital Egypt” project.
The companies that have signed these licenses include a number of major global automotive brands, among them:
OnStar (a subsidiary of the General Motors global group). Mansour MG Automotive (representing the Chinese IM brand). Global Auto (BMW). Alpha Ezz El Arab (which covers the Volvo, Aston Martin, Lotus, and Lynk&CO brands). The Egyptian International Motors Company (EIM) (Zeekr / BAIC). The Egyptian Commercial and Automotive Company (Audi / Škoda). SMG Engineering Automotive Company (Porsche / Scania).Egypt launches in-car internet services for the first time Egypt Independent.
