The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research announced the selection of the Alexandria Alliance for Smart & Sustainable Mobility as one of the winning alliances under the Presidential Initiative ““Taḥāluf wa Tanmiya””.
The alliance is the sole representative of the Alexandria region among more than 100 applicants, supporting Egypt’s Vision 2030 with a focus on green economy growth and clean technology adoption.
The alliance aims to localize electric vehicle (EV) technology in Egypt by building a fully integrated innovation ecosystem for smart mobility. Through this collaboration, it seeks to empower entrepreneurs and startups in the mobility sector while training and qualifying engineers and specialists to meet the needs of local, regional, and global markets.
This initiative represents a strategic step toward opening new industry pathways for youth, enhancing Egypt’s economic competitiveness, and supporting the development of a sustainable transportation sector.
Bassam Sharkawy, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Sprints, commented: “Being selected among hundreds of alliances is both an achievement and a responsibility. While discussions often focus on technology and electric vehicles, true progress begins with people. Through this alliance, Sprints is preparing a new generation to contribute to smart mobility across design, development, operations, and sustainability”.
Ayman Bazaraa, Co-founder and CEO of Sprints, added: “This alliance represents a concrete step toward building a sustainable smart mobility ecosystem in Egypt. By integrating academia, government, and industry, we are creating real pathways for youth to gain future-ready skills and for innovation in electric and intelligent transport systems to reach the market”.
The Alexandria Alliance brings together a diverse network of partners across Egypt’s innovation ecosystem, including Alexandria University as the academic partner; EiTESAL as a civil society partner and general coordinator; and leading technology and industrial companies such as Brightskies, Geyushi Automotive, CourseVox, Sprints, and EVRAID.
The selection of the Alexandria Alliance underscores the power of collaboration between academia, industry, and civil society, reinforcing a shared vision to enhance Egypt’s global competitiveness, accelerate the transition toward low-emission mobility solutions, and shape a sustainable future for smart transportation.
