The Orange Labs in Cairo consists of a multi-disciplinary team of 40 engineers, researchers, ergonomists and scientists.
what we do
The main research and development work conducted by the Orange Labs in Cairo focuses on the following subjects:

voice, portals and multimedia services, in order to develop innovative and low-cost services based on voice, content and multimedia technologies for the AMEA region;
low-cost infrastructure, to analyze and optimize the total cost of infrastructure ownership, and develop Internet access and innovative solutions through the most suitable technologies;
open innovation and corporate social responsibility, to link up with universities, start-ups, SMEs, NGOs, and governments in emerging countries, to enhance the Group's capacity to identify the most relevant services, technologies, and partners, and strengthen our capacity to innovate, analyze and develop services that will support sustainable development in emerging countries;
