11 Nov 2026: ManageEngine, a division of Zoho Corporation and a leading provider of enterprise IT management and security solutions, conducted a technical workshop in collaboration with Saxony Egypt University for Applied Sciences and Technology (SEU) at the university campus here on Tuesday. The collaboration with SEU marks the first educational initiative for ManageEngine in the country, reflecting the company's commitment to supporting digital transformation and developing technological talent, in line with Egypt Vision 2030's goals of building a knowledge and innovation-based economy.
The workshop, which is a part of ManageEngine's Learn IT with ME initiative, addressed a range of specialized topics including emerging security challenges, mechanisms for protecting digital infrastructure, the growing role of AI in enhancing business efficiency, and supporting innovation. Furthermore, it included career guidance covering the most in-demand technical and professional skills required in today's labour market, aimed at helping students build successful career paths and keep pace with the rapid advances in the technology sector. Students received certificates of participation issued by ManageEngine at the conclusion of the workshop.
Prasanna Venkatesh Srinivasan, associate director at ManageEngine, said, "Egypt's young talent has the potential to play a pivotal role in the region's technological future. We are pleased to share our knowledge, built up over two decades of industry experience, with the students of Saxony Egypt University. Through this initiative, we aim to narrow the gap between academic learning and industry requirements, ultimately inspiring students to pursue a fulfilling career."
Focus on equipping students with real-world knowledge
At Saxony Egypt University, hands-on training is seen as a cornerstone of educational experience rather than being a mere supplement to it. University leadership said 60% of its curriculum is allocated to applied studies. From laboratories equipped with the latest technologies to projects directly linked to industry requirements, students engage in meaningful practical applications that connect their knowledge to reality and prepare them to be industry-ready from day one.
Prof. Dr. Rowayda Sadek, Vice President for Educational and Student Affairs at Saxony Egypt University for Applied Sciences and Technology and Dean of the Faculty of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Technology said, “Saxony Egypt University is pleased to host the workshop organized in collaboration with ManageEngine as part of the “Learn IT with ME” initiative, which provided our students with a valuable opportunity to gain first-hand exposure to global industry expertise in the fields of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.”
She added, “We firmly believe that fostering meaningful partnerships with leading international companies is an essential part of preparing our students for the job market. We look forward to expanding our future collaboration with ManageEngine, further supporting our strategic vision of bringing the latest global expertise and industry knowledge to our young talents, in alignment with the objectives of Egypt Vision 2030.”
The workshop coincided with ManageEngine's participation in Cairo ICT 2026, the country's premier technology event, leveraging the presence of its senior executives and technical experts in Egypt to provide students with a direct opportunity to learn about the latest developments and trends shaping the future of IT management at both regional and global levels.
