Progress continues at the new Borg Al-Arab Technology Park in Alexandria.
Yasser ElKady, Minister of Communications and Information Technology,
said the technology parks project is part of a national strategy which aims
to implant information technology across the country, providing a suitable
environment for local and international companies to invest and cooperate with
scientific research centres and universities to improve the skills of young people.
The Borg Al-Arab Technology Park will create 4,000 job opportunities for young
people and a number of big data centres will be established there too.

Internet Solutions, the leading pan-African telecommunications service provider, has
deployed the company’s first point of presence (PoP) in Madagascar. Further expanding its
African footprint, Internet Solutions has also commissioned a second PoP in Zambia.
Internet Solutions now has 68 PoPs in 16 African markets, with operating offices in South
Africa, Mozambique, Uganda, Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria, as well as international PoPs. Co-
locating with Airtel Madagascar and NetOne in Zambia, Internet Solutions’ PoPs provide
clients with access to local Internet networks in each country without the need to identify
and contract with local Internet service providers (ISPs).
