This move aims to strengthen vivo's presence in the Egyptian market, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and local manufacturing in Egypt.

The factory's production capacity can reach up to 500,000 'Made in Egypt' smartphones per month, contributing to the local economy and boosting the Egyptian market's capabilities.

This initiative aligns with vivo's strategy to deliver cutting-edge technology at accessible prices while enhancing its distribution network and after-sales services, which currently include 11 service centers across the country. Alex Zhan, CEO of vivo Egypt, commented: 'Local manufacturing is more than just an operational expansion; it reflects our deep commitment to the Egyptian market by bringing the latest technologies and innovations that meet consumer aspirations, with a special focus on the youth segment.

Islam Adam, Marketing Director at vivo Egypt, added: 'Today's Egyptian consumer seeks a comprehensive experience that goes beyond technical specifications to include manufacturing quality, fast availability, and strong after-sales support. With local manufacturing, we can meet these expectations with greater flexibility while offering more competitive prices thanks to tax exemptions. Additionally, expanding production within Egypt allows us to streamline supply chains and provide faster, more efficient support, strengthening long-term customer trust in our brand. In line with the government's ambitious plans for this sector.' vivo's expansion in local manufacturing aligns with the ICT sector's plans to boost local production and increase digital exports, with the government aiming to raise their value to $9 billion by 2026. This move is part of a broader vision to localize industries and reduce reliance on imports, supporting the goal of increasing Egypt's total exports to over $146 billion by 2030.
