Telecom Egypt has announced a partnership with Microsoft to bring the American company’s cloud network to Egypt, Zawya reports. The announcement, made on the sidelines of the World Mobile Congress last week, follows a raft of MoUs on cloud computing with Huawei and Ericsson, as well as a cooperation agreement with American hardware company Cisco Systems. Cisco Systems also signed an agreement with the government-sponsored Information Technology Industry Development Agency (ITIDA) to encourage Egypt’s app and video game development industry according to presidential mandates, reports Masrawy.
