Egypt offers the largest and youngest multilingual talent pool in the Middle East and the second largest in EMEA region. Each year, over 667,500 higher education graduates, from 82 universities, join the workforce. 37% of graduates have science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) degrees. In addition, 80% of the working population speaks English and other European languages compared to 20-65% in other leading offshore destinations.

We came here in 2009 to create a multilingual hub, and we have been absolutely blown away in the time that we have been here. We have developed our headcount to over 10,000 people, with several sites across Egypt. As more and more of our clients look to geo-diversify into other markets, we are seeing a huge demand for further talent and skills in Egypt. The one overriding factor today is people, and that is what has made the difference for us here in Egypt.” Sunil Bhalia, VP EMEA Service Delivery, CONCENTRIX
