World Bank: Egypt Loses AI Experts
The World Bank report revealed that Egypt is experiencing a talent drain in artificial intelligence, with 2024 recording a negative net migration rate of -0.9 per 10,000 members on LinkedIn. Talent flows are predominantly heading to Gulf countries like the UAE (+4.1) and Saudi Arabia (+1.6), which attract skilled professionals, while Egypt lags behind in developing the necessary infrastructure and human capital to leverage AI effectively. The report also highlighted that the limited number of IT graduates in Egypt—accounting for no more than 3% of all university graduates in 2025—exacerbates the skills gap, hindering the country's ability to turn artificial intelligence into a driver of economic growth.
