Dr. Louay Saad El-Din Nosrat, President of Aswan University, stated that hosting the center aligns with Egypt’s national strategy for digital transformation and human capital development, helping bridge the gap between academic education and real market needs

Meanwhile, Shereera Wasfi, Head of Governance and Community Development at GIZ, highlighted that the project represents a successful model of public-private development cooperation, enhancing access to technology in underserved communities and promoting youth-led digital transformation
The center provides free in-person and online training programs in software development, embedded systems, data analytics, cybersecurity, electronics, and rapid prototyping, in addition to organizing hackathons, competitions, and innovation workshops to foster entrepreneurship and bridge the digital divide in Upper Egypt
