Giza Systems unveils ambitious growth strategy to boost regional, global presence
Giza Systems (GS), a leading digital transformation enabler and systems integrator in the Middle East and Africa (MEA), has announced a bold new strategic direction aimed at cementing its role as a regional and global technology powerhouse. The announcement comes as the company officially introduces its new Group CEO, Ahmad Elharany.
During a media roundtable on Thursday, Elharany outlined the company's forward-looking strategy, which includes geographic expansion, investment in high-growth sectors, and enhanced global service capabilities. The plan reflects GS Group's ambition to evolve into a global leader in innovation and digital transformation.
A key milestone in this strategy is the launch of the company's new Global Service Delivery Center. Designed to serve clients across industries and regions, the center will enhance Giza Systems' ability to deliver faster, more scalable, and cost-effective solutions. By leveraging global delivery infrastructure and innovation, the center aims to boost operational efficiency, expand capacity, and streamline resource management worldwide.
Giza Systems is also sharpening its focus on emerging sectors with significant growth potential, including FinTech, smart cities, smart sports, AI-powered video analytics, cloud services, cybersecurity, and Oracle-based enterprise solutions. The company's integrated approach combines operational and information technology (OT/IT) to offer full-spectrum digital transformation solutions.
'GS Group is aligning its brand with a strategy centered on purpose-built innovation, scalable delivery, and a culture of continuous evolution,' said Elharany. 'We're adapting to meet the rapidly changing needs of global customers by embedding deeper innovation, advanced delivery capabilities, and a future-focused mindset.'
Backed by solutions by stc, which holds an 88.19% stake in the company, Giza Systems has achieved major milestones over the past two years. These include the acquisition of LABS, a prominent SAP partner, which marked the group's entry into the ERP space. GS has also established a dedicated Oracle implementation business unit and led several flagship smart city projects such as the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in Egypt's New Administrative Capital and the Command and Control Center in Alamein.
Looking ahead, GS plans to deepen its presence across the GCC—particularly in Oman, Bahrain, and Abu Dhabi—through strategic partnerships, direct sales initiatives, and enhanced collaboration with global technology providers to enrich service offerings and customer experiences.
Sustainability and social impact remain core pillars of GS Group's vision. The company received a -AA- rating for its first ESG/GRI report in 2023, reflecting its commitment to responsible business practices. Through its CSR arm, the Giza Systems Foundation (GSF), the group empowers underserved communities via tech-driven initiatives. In 2024, GSF supported 15 startups across eight Egyptian governorates through its BridgeZ accelerator, advancing nine of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. GSF aims to position itself as Egypt's hub for impact investment, connecting startups with investors, donors, and strategic partners.
With strongholds in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the wider GCC, and East Africa, GS Group now sets its sights on a global expansion trajectory, with plans to solidify its footprint worldwide by 2027.

Uk-Based Yeltech Deployed Smart Monitoring System Across Riyadh Metro
Wireless Temperature Monitoring units are now active to detect and respond to heat-related stress before it disrupts service. UK-based tech firm Yeltech has deployed smart monitoring systems across the Riyadh Metro, enhancing infrastructure safety on the world's longest driverless train network. Its wireless Rail Temperature Monitoring (RTM) units are now active across key metro lines, helping engineers detect and respond to heat-related stress before it disrupts service- a critical upgrade in Riyadh's extreme climate, where rail tracks face rapid thermal expansion and contraction. In addition to RTM sensors, Yeltech has rolled out tilt monitoring and pantograph fault detection devices, supporting predictive maintenance and cutting unplanned downtime. The tech enables real-time alerts for track shifts and overhead line issues, streamlining operations across the metro's 176 km and 85 stations. The Riyadh Metro, launched in late 2024, currently handles over 1.2 million passengers daily, with a goal to triple capacity.

Egyptian Startups Secure $228 Million in First Five Months of 2025 Egyptian startups have attracted $228 million in venture capital and debt financing from January to May 2025, according to a statement from the Ministerial Group for Entrepreneurship. The figures mark a 130% year-on-year increase in disclosed investment volume, reflecting continued growth in Egypt's startup ecosystem despite ongoing economic challenges. In total, 16 deals were recorded during the period, with 11 of them publicly disclosing investment amounts that collectively reached $156 million. In addition to equity investments, two notable debt financing deals were secured: proptech platform Nawy raised $23 million, while fintech firm MNT-Halan secured $49 million. The proptech sector led in terms of total investment volume, accounting for 33% of all capital raised, while fintech topped the charts in deal count, with five transactions comprising 32% of total investment value. H.E. Dr. Rania Al-Mashat, Egypt's Minister of Planning, Economic Development and International Cooperation and head of the Ministerial Group for Entrepreneurship, stated that the funding growth reflects continued momentum in Egypt's startup market. Dr. Al-Mashat attributed this progress to government-led efforts to improve the business climate and support private sector growth through targeted structural reforms. Dr. Al-Mashat confirmed that work is currently underway on a national Startup Charter, alongside a range of funding initiatives and financial incentives to promote investment, including tax benefits for startups with annual revenues under EGP 20 million. In addition to new funding, the local startup ecosystem saw a number of key acquisition deals. These included Dubizzle's acquisition of used car marketplace Hatla2ee, as well as the acquisition of digital payments platform Fatora by MaxAB-Wasoko. The Ministerial Group for Entrepreneurship was launched by the Egyptian government to coordinate startup policy across relevant ministries and to develop initiatives that foster an enabling ecosystem for entrepreneurship. As part of this mandate, the group aims to promote Egypt's visibility on the global startup map while supporting sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
