Since establishing Egypt’s first large-scale public cloud region in 2024, Huawei Cloud has played a key role in strengthening data sovereignty and supporting the country’s broader digital economy ambitions. The company is also certified by the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) and holds a Tier 3 license, enabling it to serve multiple sectors in line with the highest standards of compliance, reliability, and governance.
In response to the growing needs of the fintech industry, Huawei Cloud provides a cloud environment aligned with the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) requirements for data sovereignty and localization, ensuring that sensitive data is processed and stored within Egypt. This helps build trust among financial institutions while enabling a secure foundation for innovation and sustainable growth.
Together, Huawei Cloud and Thndr reaffirm their commitment to advancing Egypt’s fintech ecosystem through the adoption of cloud technologies and artificial intelligence, contributing to a more innovative, efficient, and sustainable financial sector in line with Egypt’s digital transformation agenda.
