unlock economic potential, streamline operations and expand globally. Partners in the open source
space, like Red Hat, play a key role in helping businesses navigate change and optimise digital
adoption, driving Egypt’s progress toward its Vision 2030 goals and shaping a collaborative, innovative
future.

The future of technology in the MENA region over the next five years will be heavily influenced by the rise
of AI, hybrid cloud and edge computing. As regional businesses and governments continue to embrace
digital transformation, AI will play a pivotal role in enhancing operational efficiency, automating
processes and driving innovation across industries such as finance, healthcare and manufacturing. The

shift to hybrid cloud architectures will enable organisations to manage workloads across both public and
private clouds, giving them greater flexibility, scalability, and cost optimisation. Additionally, the adoption
of edge computing will be critical as it allows data to be processed closer to where it is generated,
improving latency and reliability for real-time applications, particularly in industries like IoT and

telecommunications.

Red Hat plans to adapt to these changes by focusing on delivering open source technologies that
empower businesses to deploy and manage AI models, hybrid cloud environments and edge computing
solutions. Red Hat’s portfolio, including Red Hat OpenShift, Ansible Automation and Red Hat Enterprise

Linux, will enable organisations in the MENA region to modernise their infrastructures, ensuring they can
leverage the power of AI, cloud and edge technologies in a seamless and efficient manner. By focusing
on these core areas, Red Hat aims to help customers remain agile and competitive in an increasingly
digital landscape.

"Red Hat differentiates itself in the MENA market through its deep commitment to the open source

community and development model, which is central to its success. Rather than simply providing open
source software, Red Hat is a leading contributor to hundreds of open source projects that drive
innovation across various technologies, including cloud computing, containers, big data, IoT, and more.
The company’s flagship product, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), is built on the Linux kernel and

thousands of other open source components, with Red Hat playing a crucial role in contributing to and
advancing these projects. This collaborative approach not only benefits Red Hat’s own products but also
positively impacts all Linux distributions, including those of its competitors, demonstrating the power of
open source collaboration."

According to the General Manager.

Red Hat remains fully committed to openness, which allows Red Hat to provide exceptional value to
customers, as its contributions to the open source ecosystem give the company unparalleled expertise
and influence. When customers face challenges, Red Hat’s deep involvement in these projects ensures
that it has the knowledge and resources to quickly address issues or drive the development of new

features. Additionally, Red Hat encourages its customers and partners to contribute back to the open
source community, creating a cycle of shared innovation. This unique model not only accelerates digital
