Ride-hailing app Uber announced yesterday that it invested USD 20 mn in the new support center it inaugurated in Cairo, according to Reuters. Despite challenging economic conditions, Uber’s EMEA chief Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty said that “we’re here to stay and we’ll continue to invest to be able to serve citizens over here.” The center is the company’s first in the Middle East, according to an Investment Ministry statement. Uber is also in talks to launch a new bus service in Egypt.
