Overview
SoleCrypt, in collaboration with the Egyptian Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MCIT), has embarked on a transformative project to decarbonize digital infrastructure in the MEA region. This partnership represents a major milestone in our commitment to sustainable compute power, leveraging renewable energy and advanced infrastructure to create one of the largest green data centers in the region.

The Challenge
As global demand for digital services surges, so does the environmental footprint of data centers. Egypt, a burgeoning hub for technology and innovation, faces the challenge of balancing rapid digital growth with sustainability goals. The country sought a strategic partner to help develop a green data center capable of supporting advanced digital services while aligning with its renewable energy objectives.

Our Approach
SoleCrypt's approach centered around integrating cutting-edge technology with environmental sustainability. The key elements of the project include:

1. Strategic Location: The data center will be strategically located to serve both local and regional markets, with robust connectivity to Europe and the Middle East.
2. Scalable Green Infrastructure: Designed with modular scalability, the facility will support up to 200MW of compute power, executed in phases to align with demand.
3. Renewable Energy Integration: The center will be powered by solar and other renewable energy sources, significantly reducing its carbon footprint and operating costs.
4. Collaboration with Egyptian Leadership: Through an MoU signed in Cairo, the project has garnered strong governmental support, ensuring alignment with Egypt’s Vision 2030 sustainability goals.

Milestone Achieved
In January 2025, SoleCrypt signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding with the MCIT. The ceremony, held in Cairo, was witnessed by His Excellency Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and the Egyptian CIT Minister, His Excellency Mr. Amr Talaat. This pivotal agreement paves the way for developing a green data center that will be a cornerstone of Egypt’s sustainable digital transformation.

Impact and Outcomes

• Sustainability Leadership: The project positions Egypt as a leader in sustainable digital infrastructure in the MEA region, meeting global standards for renewable energy utilization.
• Economic Development: The data center is expected to create jobs and attract investments in Egypt’s growing technology sector.
• Carbon Reduction: By leveraging renewable energy, the project will significantly cut carbon emissions compared to traditional data centers.
• Technology Innovation: It will enable advancements in AI, high-performance computing, and cloud services, supporting innovation across industries.

Looking Ahead
SoleCrypt and the Egyptian government are committed to ensuring the successful execution of this project. The phased development will begin in 2025, with the first tranche of capacity expected to go live within two years. This initiative sets a benchmark for public-private partnerships in advancing green technology infrastructure and highlights SoleCrypt's role as a global leader in sustainable compute power.

Conclusion
The SoleCrypt-Egypt partnership represents more than a data center; it symbolizes a shared vision of a greener, smarter future. By aligning cutting-edge digital capabilities with environmental responsibility, this project is shaping the future of sustainable technology infrastructure in the MEA region and beyond.
