Choosing the right embedded hardware starts with understanding the fundamentals. So, what exactly is a Computer on Module (COM)?

It is essentially the brain of a device: a compact, standardized circuit board that integrates the CPU, RAM, storage interfaces, graphics, and power management. You plug this “brain” into a custom carrier board, which defines all the physical ports, connectors, and mechanical layout required for your final product.

Optical bonding technology has become a key requirement for modern industrial, medical, transportation, and outdoor display solutions. As equipment becomes more intelligent and environments more challenging, companies need displays that offer excellent clarity, durability, and long-term stability. Optical bonding delivers all three by removing the air gap between the TFT panel and the cover glass or touchscreen, giving the display a major boost in optical and mechanical performance.

At FORTEC Egypt, we provide advanced optical bonding solutions through our partnership with FORTEC Integrated in Germany. 

The Global Offshoring Summit 2025 Egypt (GOS2025), held under the auspices of H.E. Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly and H.E. Dr. Amr Talaat, Minister of Communications and Information Technology, marks one of the most influential technology and digital services gatherings in the region.

TransMEA 2025 returns as the Middle East and Africa’s flagship event for transport, logistics, and infrastructure — and FORTEC Egypt is proud to be part of it once again.

Held under the theme “Transport & Logistics in Action: Connecting the Middle East & Africa,” the exhibition highlights how digitalization, sustainability, and smart systems are transforming the way people and goods move across the region.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing how the world designs, builds, and innovates. From product development to transportation and manufacturing, AI and engineering jobs are becoming more interconnected than ever. But one question keeps surfacing — Can AI replace engineers?

In every journey, there’s a moment where technology meets human experience...where a clear display, a timely update, or a simple touchpoint can turn confusion into confidence. Across Egypt’s train stations, that moment is arriving faster than ever. As the nation modernizes its transport infrastructure, one question drives the future: how do we make every passenger’s journey smarter, smoother, and more connected?

Cairo, Egypt — October 26, 2025

Cairo, Egypt — Local mobile phone manufacturing is expected to reach 9 million units by 2025, up from 3.5 million units in 2024, according to the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology.

Artificial intelligence is no longer confined to centralized data centers. From medical imaging and smart factories to digital cities and large language models (LLMs), the demand for real-time AI at the edge has never been greater. Meeting this demand requires performance, efficiency, and compact design—qualities embodied by the Advantech AIR-420.

Cairo, August 2025 — Egypt and Germany have signed a new €100 million debt swap agreement, marking another significant step in their long-standing development partnership.
