About 55% – 60% of the technology parks' construction in Borg El-Arab and Assiut has been completed, said an official in the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology.
According to the source, the construction works of the two areas will be completed at the end of this year. He added that the implementation of the first phase of both parks are worth about EGP 450m, while the first phase of the technology parks in 10th of Ramadan City and Beni Suef cost EGP 250m, totalling EGP 700m.
The official pointed out that different companies had already sent requests to reserve about 50% of the space at the technology parks in Borg El-Arab and Assiut.
