Egypt's National Telecommunication Institute (NTI) signed two cooperation protocols with Aswan Governorate and Aswan University to boost digital development, the ministry of communications and information technology said Thursday. The first agreement with the governorate aims to enhance technology capacity building, prepare youth for the labour market, and improve digital infrastructure. The second, with Aswan University, focuses on upskilling students and graduates, supporting scientific research, and advancing academic programmes. The deals were signed during a visit to the Creativa Innovation Hub in Aswan, which also featured youth training activities, certificate awards for outstanding cybersecurity students, and volunteer recognition. Established in 1983, NTI serves as a national centre of excellence supporting Egypt's digital transformation strategy under Vision 2030. Attribution: Amwal Al Ghad English Subediting: Y.Yasser
