Egypt and Dubai have taken major steps toward strengthening their technology ecosystems by launching specialized markets dedicated to electronic circuits, signaling a shared push toward technological self-sufficiency and economic growth.
On February 1, 2026, Egypt officially launched its first specialized electronic circuits market, marking a significant milestone for the country’s local manufacturing and technology sector. The inauguration attracted more than 300 companies, along with senior government officials, industry leaders, and investors. The initiative aims to support domestic production, reduce reliance on imports, and position Egypt as a competitive hub for electronics manufacturing in the region.
At the same time, Dubai inaugurated its own electronic circuits market, featuring the participation of around 300 companies from across the technology and manufacturing spectrum. The Dubai market is designed to enhance innovation, streamline supply chains, and stimulate sectoral growth. Authorities expect the initiative to contribute to a 5 percent boost in the electronic circuits sector, supported by strategic backing from the Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company.
Both initiatives reflect a broader regional strategy focused on regulated technology markets, designed to attract foreign and local investment while ensuring quality standards and transparency. By creating structured platforms for manufacturers, suppliers, and innovators, Egypt and Dubai aim to encourage public-private collaboration, accelerate knowledge transfer, and support startups alongside established enterprises.
Industry experts believe these developments will play a crucial role in building resilient technology ecosystems, creating skilled jobs, and driving sustainable economic growth. As global demand for electronic components continues to rise, the new markets are expected to strengthen the regional supply chain and enhance competitiveness on the international stage.
The parallel launches underline Egypt’s and Dubai’s growing commitment to becoming key players in the global electronics and semiconductor value chain.
