Tatweer Misr has signed a deal with Schneider Electric to design and manage smart cities. The partnership will allow Tatweer Misr to utilise the iTWO platform, established by Schneider Electric’s RIB Software.
Egypt’s 2052 vision aims to double the urban areas in Egypt from 7 to 14 per cent. The plan includes developing 61 cities, 24 of which will be designed based on smart solutions.
Egypt is investing heavily in building a new capital, located 35 kilometres east of Cairo. At the core, the new capital is being designed with smart capabilities – from buildings, traffic, utilities, and energy management.
“The iTWO platform enables clients to cut their operation schedules and costs by integrating AI technology to provide simulations, making planning the project’s infrastructure easy and efficient. The collaboration between Schneider Electric and Tatweer Misr aims further to enhance digital transformation and smart city-building in the country,” said Fouad Zayed, Vice President of Digital Energy and EcoStruxure for Egypt North-East Africa, and Levant Cluster, Schneider Electric.
This agreement positions Tatweer Misr as the first real estate developer across the MENA region to introduce Schneider Electric’s latest cutting-edge technologies in all their projects: Il Monte Galala in Ain Sokhna, Fouka Bay and D-Bay in North Coast, and Bloomfields in Mostakbal City.
