Ahmad Elharany, Giza Systems Group CEO, confirmed that Giza Systems Group achieved significant milestones throughout the last two years, backed by solutions by stc, which holds an 88.19% stake in the group.

Ambitious Targets

Now with the newly announced Group’s vision and ambitious targets, GS Group reaffirms its commitment to customer-centricity, operational excellence, and employee experience.

“We are aligning our brand with our strategy to stand for purpose-built innovation, delivery at scale, and a culture that embraces continuous change,” said Elharany during the media roundtable.

Designing Smarter

He added, “We’re not just delivering technology, we are designing smarter, scalable, and more agile digital ecosystems. Our new strategy focuses on innovation, scale, and human-centric growth – all while staying true to our purpose. GS Group is evolving to meet the complex, rapidly shifting needs of our global customers by integrating deeper innovation, advanced delivery capabilities, and a future-focused mindset.”

Investments

GS Group has strategically invested over the past three years in key areas, including the acquisition of LABS, a prominent SAP partner in the region, marking its entry into the ERP sector, and establishing an internal Oracle implementation business unit. This is in addition to its prominent implementations in several smart cities, such as the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in the New Administrative Capital, and the Command and Control Center in Alamein.

Expanding

Meanwhile, the company plans to expand in the GCC, particularly in Oman, Bahrain, and Abu Dhabi, through collaborations with local partners and direct sales initiatives, as well as through strengthening global tech partnerships to enhance customer experience and service offerings.

Sustainability

Additionally, Giza Systems maintains its full commitment to sustainability, as evidenced by its first Sustainability Report (ESG/GRI 2023) with a -AA- rating from IdealRatings. The Giza Systems Foundation (GSF), which serves as Giza Systems’ CSR arm and was founded in 2013, works on empowering underserved communities through technology-driven initiatives to support society’s members via a wide range of activities. Over the years, the Foundation has provided a variety of services and programs. Most recently, GSF launched an Impact Venture Accelerator program, called BridgeZ, to support startups by creating indirect impact, and helping entrepreneurs build financially sustainable and investible enterprises. Most recently in 2024, through the social impact project acceleration program, GSF worked with 15 startups in 8 governorates, to achieve 9 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). GSF aims to become a system aggregator and central hub for impact investment in Egypt, connecting startups with investors, donors, universities, service providers, and the private sector.
