Marwa Aman, Student, Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University

“It’s my first time here […] I came across several inventions and a lot of innovative projects that enlightened my mind and gave me an insight into what’s happening around me in the world. The way I will work on my graduation project will definitely change now because I know what does job market needs.”

Ahmed Mazen, 25, Engineer

“This year, the number of mega and international companies is higher than the last one, while the number of new and small companies decreased. That could be counted as a positive thing for the forum as a whole, but for me as a client it isn’t simply because I already know the international companies and know their products, what interests me really is seeing new initiatives in the fields, especially those made by small and medium companies.”

Lilian Atef, 21, Engineer

“I’m representing my company today and that’s such a great step for me personally, and for my company as well. I’m meeting colleagues, friends and even competitors, and that’s how we develop ourselves.” “One thing I saw here that impressed me is how non-professional people are extremely interested in the ICT sector and how they exert great efforts to understand the details of our work and our projects.”

Enji  Asem, Accountant

“This year is quite different and actually better in terms of organization, participating companies and fields covered. Amazingly, the forum managed to gather a great number of competitors in the same place. They present us their services and products with integrity and the decision of which to adopt is entirely ours. Hearing from all sides, I know that whatever my choice is, it will be based on real and rational reasons.” 

Khaled Zidan, IT Specialist

“We don’t only expose our products freely here, but also we share our experiences as workers in the same field and have a floor for direct communication with our customers. With the latter sort of communication, we are able to touch the immediate feedback of the customers about our products. If this isn’t the chance to develop one’s business, then what is?”

Nada Fayez, Marketing Agent

 “I joined the marketing department in my company three months ago, though, what I learnt in the past three days is of higher value and more important. I embraced the precious lesson of reading the surroundings here. I’m dealing with people’s curiosity, and how to turn it into interest and passion for ICT is my job.”

Mahmoud Sabahi, CEO of Khadamaty Company

“What attracted me the most to Cairo ICT 2010 is the students’ activities and projects. It reflects how the next ICT generations think about tomorrow. I think many of these draft projects would find their way to next year’s exhibition among the latest achievements. They are promising and I think the ICT sector will witness a boom with those energetic creative minds joining it soon.”
