The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is poised to become one of the world’s smartest cultural institutions through a landmark exclusive technological partnership with Vodafone Egypt. This monumental agreement, in collaboration with Legacy for Management and Development, the official operator of the museum, which reflects a shared vision for a digitally connected Egypt, was officially signed in the presence of the CIT minister and the tourism minister. Vodafone Egypt views its role as the exclusive technology partner for the GEM as a key pillar in its strategy to lead digital transformation and develop smart infrastructure, positioning itself as a trusted partner to the Egyptian government in major national projects.

Vodafone Egypt is delivering a full-scale Internet of Things (IoT) solution, integrating 19 critical systems — from the complete building management system, lighting, heatmap, parking management, climate control, and gate reader, to ticketing and wayfinding — into a single, unified operation center. The core of this is a secure, unified IoT platform that manages all devices and provides real-time visibility across the entire facility. This advanced platform is explicitly designed to provide the best guest \ visitor experience, employing smart monitoring to maintain precise, tailored preservation conditions for each priceless item.

Furthermore, the system uses predictive analytics and intelligent energy management to minimize the carbon footprint and ensure operational efficiency and sustainability. By leveraging this highly advanced technology and dedicated local expertise, the GEM achieves a truly world-class visitor experience, seamless operational flow, and a state-of-the-art system for cultural preservation. This technological showcase not only safeguards Egypt’s heritage but also significantly strengthens its global image, merging Egypt’s cultural legacy with Vodafone’s technological might.
