The expo serves as a strategic platform for researchers, allowing participants to explore cutting-edge innovative solutions and establish effective international partnerships. It also showcases successful collaborations between academia and industry, providing governments and institutions with a key venue to adopt modern technologies, enhance competitiveness, and support GDP growth as part of Egypt's initiative towards a creativity- and sustainability-driven economy.
Following the momentum of the Cairo International Innovation Fair, IRC EXPO 2025 will run for two days, featuring the latest technical initiatives, immersive demonstrations, and smart applications. The event aims to be a global meeting point for researchers, innovators, investors, and policymakers from around the world.
