eGov Chapter: Walk Like Egyptians II…


Following the successful discussion and hosting of our friends from Egypt back in Jun 2008, SITF and eGov Chapter is glad to catch-up with our friends again from the land of the pyramids!!

The delegates from Egypt comprised of government officials and business delegates from cyber security segment. However, this time round, the delegates were lead by Dr. Sherif Hashem Executive Vice President of ITIDA.

In our joint effort with IE Singapore, and the support of our members, the dialogue session had an overwhelming turnout and the followed-up discussion was warm and fruitful for both parties.















Mr Pang, Chairman of eGov Chapter received our guest with a warm welcome.

The theme this time round is to explore collaboration in cybersecurity.

The dialogue session ended with a buffet lunch, courtesy of IE Singapore, our Egyptian friends and SITF members had a good opportunity to network and explore business opportunities in cyber security partnerships.

Another area to look out for is the business contracts that would be dished out by the Egyptian government, the potential partnerships and contracts the secretariat could be facilitating is currently valued at over 70 million Egyptian pounds or S$18.5 million.

The secretariat also had a chance to host Arabian cuisines lunch for our Egyptian delegates and members of SITF.
