Information Technology Industry Development Agency

Funds Egypt's information technology industry through digital transformation programs, export readiness, and private-sector modernization support.

ITIDA is Egypt's national agency for developing the IT and digital sector, operating under the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. It supports exporters, research teams, training pipelines, and electronics manufacturers, with a mandate that treats digital-industry growth as national industrial policy.

Its public routes include Export IT Rebate, ITAC Collaborative Funded Projects, the Egyptian-Spanish IT Innovation Program, the Innovation Clusters Initiative, ITAC Graduation Projects Support, and Egypt Makes Electronics. Export IT offers cash-back support on export proceeds, capped at 2.5 million EGP per company, and can reach up to 35 percent for micro firms, 25 percent for small firms, and 10 percent for medium firms, with extra support outside Cairo, Giza, and Alexandria. Eligibility centers on Egyptian ownership, an Egyptian headquarters, ICT or embedded-software exports, and annual revenue up to 150 million EGP.

ITIDA works through partnerships with universities and technical institutions, including the American University in Cairo, the Information Technology Institute, Siemens, Fraunhofer IPK, GIZ, and CDTI. The strongest fit is an Egyptian software or electronics company that can show export traction, an applied R&D team, or a manufacturer building a higher-value digital supply chain.
