Egypt has launched what developers describe as the country’s first fully artificial‑intelligence‑powered “cognitive city,” a major new urban development east of Cairo pitched as a global investment hub and described by its developer as an unprecedented step in smart urban development.
The project, known as “The Spine,” was unveiled over the weekend by Talaat Moustafa Group (TMG) at an event attended by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly at the Cabinet headquarters in the New Administrative Capital, according to a company statement.
Developers say the project will serve as a major international business hub and could contribute about one percent of Egypt’s gross domestic product once operational.
What it Means for Egypt Egypt has been seeking new ways to position itself as a regional economic and investment center amid intensifying global competition for capital, jobs, and technology‑driven industries.
TMG describes The Spine as an unprecedented step in smart urban development, presenting it as an integrated economic platform built around artificial‑intelligence‑driven systems.
What To Know About ‘The Spine’ Reuters reported the development will be built as a Special Investment Zone with TMG’s Madinaty development, covering roughly 2.4 million square meters and blending residential, commercial, hospitality, retail, entertainment, and green public spaces stretching across a continuous urban landscape.
