Ahmed El-Zaher, CEO of ITIDA, described the initiative as a strategic effort to grow Egypt’s freelance market and enhance its digital economy. “Freelancing has become a global priority for individuals and businesses amid rapid shifts in the job market,” he said. “Through ITIDA Gigs, we empower Egyptian youth with competitive skills to secure sustainable income and freelance opportunities through digital platforms.”

El-Zaher emphasised the program’s alignment with Egypt’s vision for digital transformation and its role in creating non-traditional job opportunities. “Our partnership with EYouth reflects our commitment to supporting innovative local startups. Through this initiative, we aim to build a skilled freelance workforce that boosts digital exports and strengthens Egypt’s digital economy,” he added.

A collaborative effort for digital excellence

EYouth, selected through a competitive tender, brings its extensive experience in digital education to the program. Mustafa Abd El-Latif, CEO and Co-Founder of EYouth, highlighted the importance of empowering youth through technology-driven education.

“We are proud to collaborate with ITIDA on this pioneering initiative, which reflects our commitment to empowering youth through technology-driven education. With our extensive experience in training over 3 million learners, we aim to build a strong freelance community that positions Egypt as a leading country with competitive talents on the global stage,” Abd El-Latif said.
