Egyptian Researcher Develops Global Information-Sharing Network for Industrial Production in Germany
By Ahmad El-Assasy
In an era where digital transformation is a necessity for industrial efficiency and innovation, an Egyptian researcher, Mohamed Anwar Bahairi, has developed a groundbreaking roadmap for creating a global information-sharing network in production sites worldwide. His PhD dissertation at RWTH Aachen University, titled "Digital Shadows of Industrial Robots in the Global Production Network", has captivated German academia and industry experts alike.
Bahairi's research focuses on defining robotic tasks within global production cycles and enabling robots to work seamlessly alongside humans. A key aspect of his study is making it easier for humans to program and control robots remotely using simplified, human-readable commands.
His dissertation was reviewed by a panel of distinguished professors from the Faculty of Computer Science and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Bahairi outlined three major objectives in his research:
Implementing a global industrial web network as an application of the Internet of Production (IoP).
Developing a programming language that facilitates coordination between humans and robots, expanding its role in industrial production management.
Enhancing robotic movement accuracy by minimizing unwanted oscillations and vibrations, ensuring precise execution of tasks in production lines.
A Breakthrough in the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Industrial robots typically function in one of three modes: working independently, remote-controlled, or in direct collaboration with humans. Bahiri's research centers on developing a programming framework to enhance human-robot interaction, a concept that impressed German academics and industry leaders.
His findings were presented at international conferences and workshops across Slovenia, China, South Africa, and Australia, and published in renowned scientific journals. Experts in robotics and artificial intelligence were particularly intrigued by his innovative approach, which aligns with the Fourth Industrial Revolution—a phase driven by automation, connectivity, and artificial intelligence in industrial settings.
A Journey of Excellence from Egypt to Germany
Bahairi graduated from the German University in Cairo (GUC) in 2011, specializing in Computer Science and Engineering. His academic journey in Germany began in 2008 when he traveled for an exchange program. He later returned to complete his undergraduate thesis, pursued a Master's degree in 2017, and worked on research projects at the German Aerospace Center (DLR). He also spent years working at a leading German robotics company before returning to RWTH Aachen to complete his PhD.
His doctoral research received high praise from his supervisors, particularly Professor Gerhard Lakemeyer, a renowned expert in information structuring and AI-driven robotic applications. The dissertation panel included three prominent scholars: Professors Christian Brecher, Bastian Leibe, and Wil van der Aalst.
With this remarkable achievement, Bahairi has contributed significantly to the evolution of industrial automation, proving that Egyptian talent continues to make a global impact in science and technology.

CBE Deputy Governor attends ceremony appointing DPI as new manager of ‘Nclude'
As part of ongoing efforts to support fintech innovation, drive digital transformation, and advance financial inclusion in line with international best practices, the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) has approved a request from key limited partners of the 'Nclude' fintech fund to appoint Development Partners International (DPI) as its new fund manager. Rami Aboulnaga, Deputy Governor of the CBE, witnessed the official signing ceremony marking the fund's transition to DPI management. This strategic step aims to attract greater foreign investment into Egypt's fintech sector and supports the fund's ambition to become the largest fintech-focused investment fund in the region, with a target capital of $150m. The Nclude fund has already demonstrated a significant multiplier effect, with every $1 invested by the fund helping to attract an additional $5 in foreign capital to startups operating in the Egyptian market. Commenting on the development, Deputy Governor Rami Aboulnaga said: 'The participation of Egyptian banks in the Nclude Fund underscores the banking sector's strong commitment to embracing emerging fintech trends and staying aligned with global developments. This fund plays a vital role in providing fintech entrepreneurs with the supportive environment they need to launch innovative solutions in Egypt and contributes meaningfully to achieving our targeted financial inclusion goals.' The fund's launch was initially backed by some of Egypt's leading financial institutions—including Banque Misr, the National Bank of Egypt, and Banque du Caire—as well as institutional investors such as the Egyptian Banks Company for Technological Advancement (EBC), e-Finance Investment Group, and Mastercard. This initiative complements the CBE's broader strategy to expand access to funding for fintech startups, a cornerstone of its fintech and innovation strategy. Beyond financial support, Nclude also plays a critical role in nurturing young talent and directing investment towards both local and international fintech and fintech-enabled startups looking to establish operations in Egypt.
