AIDC² Expo 2026: AI, Data Centers & Cloud, 7-10 November 2026, Egypt International Exhibition Center
Digital Future
Sovereign Infrastructure for AI
Co-organized by AIDC² Expo, AICTO and Smart Africa
Africa and the Arab region cannot benefit fully from AI without building their own infrastructure and mastering their data centers, compute, networks and data. Today, most of the data and models used on the continent are hosted and trained outside its borders.
- Data sovereignty
Public, financial and health data fall outside national legal frameworks.
- Cost and latency
Access to compute (GPUs) remains limited and expensive for governments, researchers and startups.
- Relevance
Models are poorly adapted to African and Arab languages, contexts and priorities.
Welcome to the third edition of
EGYPT INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION CENTER
Welcome Note
Welcome to the third edition of AIDC², the region’s premier platform for AI, datacenter ecosystems, data cloud and applied AI innovation. AIDC² 2026 builds on the success of 2 very successful rounds, expanding its reach and impact across the Middle East and Africa.
This year, we gather under one roof to explore how modern datacenters and AI use cases are transforming education, healthcare, aviation, finance, agriculture, and beyond. Together, we are shaping the digital future of two continents.
Experts will be present from the region and beyond, alongside government officials and investors, to build the future and face the challenges.
It is my pleasure to welcome you to four days of hardcore business and entertaining times under the charming skies of Cairo, Egypt.
