Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has launched a mass initiative in app and video game development on Monday, aiming to build the capacities of 10,000 young Egyptians and Africans to develop software using modern technologies. The initiative will motivate the establishment of 100 Egyptian and African start-ups. Sisi asserted the country’s strategy to develop education and build human capabilities that would be the cornerstone of national progress. The app will help train commuters by providing an online ticketing system, as well as an information guide on all trains including their prices and timings. He added that this app will save time and effort when obtaining a train ticket.
