Egypt’s X-GEN Signs Three Deals to Expand Robotics and Drone Technologies

Egyptian technology company X-GEN has signed three strategic memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with international technology companies to expand the adoption of robotics, autonomous drones and intelligent systems across Egypt and other regional markets.

The agreements were announced during Cairo ICT 2026, held from November 7 to 10, and involve Chinese technology companies Hollyway and PUDU Robotics, as well as HPAC, the Middle East distributor of French drone technology company DRONE VOLT.

The partnerships are aimed at combining international technology capabilities with Egyptian engineering expertise to develop solutions for infrastructure, industrial operations, agriculture, facility management, logistics and other sectors.

Under its agreement with Hollyway, X-GEN will introduce the Chinese company’s Iron Dock technology to Egypt through an exclusive partnership. The technology enables autonomous drone operations for infrastructure inspections, remote monitoring and proactive asset management, helping organisations improve operational efficiency and identify potential risks.

X-GEN has also become PUDU Robotics’ first partner in Africa, opening opportunities to introduce the company’s robotic technologies to the Egyptian market. The collaboration will cover autonomous cleaning robots, industrial logistics and material-handling systems, intelligent service and delivery robots, as well as quadruped and humanoid robotic technologies.

The solutions are designed to improve productivity, operational consistency and workplace safety by automating repetitive tasks and activities that may expose workers to potential hazards.

The third agreement involves DRONE VOLT and its Middle East distributor, Saudi-based HPAC, establishing a framework for cooperation in professional drone technologies and integrated industrial solutions. The partnership will initially target opportunities in Egypt while exploring reciprocal collaboration in Saudi Arabia.

DRONE VOLT’s portfolio includes professional drones designed for industrial inspection, surveillance, thermography, surface treatment and search-and-rescue operations across sectors such as energy, construction, civil engineering and security. The companies also plan to explore joint product development and customised applications for different industries.

Commenting on the partnerships, X-GEN Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Amir Wahid said Egypt had the talent, engineering capabilities and ambition to become a significant player in advanced technology.

He said the agreements were not simply about introducing robots and drones into the market, but about combining global innovation with Egyptian expertise to develop solutions that address industry challenges, improve productivity and create lasting value.

Wahid added that X-GEN intends to position itself as a strategic technology partner to industries rather than simply an equipment distributor, with a focus on identifying operational challenges and delivering appropriate solutions.

The agreements form part of X-GEN’s broader strategy to build an integrated technology ecosystem that connects international technology providers with local engineering and technical capabilities. The company aims to support industrial digital transformation, improve operational efficiency and expand opportunities for regional technology collaboration.

Through the partnerships, X-GEN also seeks to strengthen Egypt’s advanced technology capabilities while creating opportunities to deploy robotics, drones and intelligent systems across multiple industries.
