It will be located within the Madinaty area and will include 165 mixed-use towers alongside extensive green spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Madbouly said the development is projected to generate tax revenues surpassing 800 billion Egyptian pounds and will reinforce investor confidence in Egypt as a stable investment destination. \u201cEgypt remains a safe and stable investment destination capable of delivering strong returns despite global uncertainties,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Hisham Talaat Moustafa, CEO and managing director of Talaat Moustafa Group, described the project as an integrated economic model rather than a conventional real estate development. \u201cThe Spine is not just a project, but a vision for building future cities and transforming them into globally competitive economic platforms,\u201d he said. The development was based on more than five years of studies conducted in collaboration with international consultancies.<\/p>\n<p>The project adopts a Special Investment Zone model, offering a flexible regulatory framework, streamlined procedures, competitive incentives, dedicated customs systems and advanced digital infrastructure. Moustafa described it as a cognitive city powered by artificial intelligence and smart management systems, combining residential, commercial, financial and entertainment components within an integrated ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>The development is expected to create approximately 55,000 direct jobs and 100,000 indirect jobs and attract tens of millions of visitors annually. \u201cThe goal is not just to build towers, but to build a complete economic system,\u201d Moustafa said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Egypt #Launches #Trillion #AIPowered #Cognitive #City #Development #Cairo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly has overseen the launch of The Spine, a mega development in New Cairo described as&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":57236,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,11],"tags":[7810,9540,210,10599,587,3151,568,6450],"class_list":["post-57235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi","category-world","tag-aipowered","tag-cairo","tag-city","tag-cognitive","tag-development","tag-egypt","tag-launches","tag-trillion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57235"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57235\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57237,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57235\/revisions\/57237"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57236"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
