X-GEN, an Egyptian technology company specializing in robotics, drones, intelligent systems and autonomous solutions, has announced the signing of three strategic Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) during Cairo ICT 2026, held from November 7 to 10. The agreements mark a significant step in the company’s strategy to connect leading international technologies with Egyptian engineering expertise.
The partnerships bring together X-GEN with China-based Hollyway and PUDU Robotics, as well as HPAC, the Middle East distributor of French drone technology company DRONE VOLT, further expanding the company’s international technology network.
Through these collaborations, X-GEN aims to accelerate the adoption of advanced robotics, autonomous drones and intelligent operational systems in Egypt, addressing practical challenges across infrastructure, industry, agriculture, facility management, logistics and other vital sectors.
The agreements also reflect X-GEN’s ambition to move beyond the traditional technology distribution model by establishing an Egyptian-led platform that combines global innovation with local capabilities to develop and deploy industry-specific solutions.
Three Strategic Partnerships to Bring Global Innovation to Egypt
Hollyway | China – Advancing Autonomous Drone Infrastructure
Through its exclusive partnership with Chinese technology company Hollyway in Egypt, X-GEN will introduce the company’s advanced Iron Dock technology, which enables autonomous drone operations for intelligent inspections, remote monitoring and proactive infrastructure management.
The technology is expected to create new opportunities to improve operational efficiency, strengthen asset monitoring and identify potential risks at an earlier stage, supporting smarter infrastructure and facility management.
PUDU Robotics | China – Introducing the Next Generation of Intelligent Robotics
X-GEN has become PUDU Robotics’ first partner in Africa, paving the way for the introduction of the Chinese company’s advanced robotic technologies to the Egyptian market.
The partnership covers autonomous cleaning robots, industrial logistics and material-handling systems, intelligent service and delivery robots, as well as emerging quadruped and humanoid robotic technologies.
These solutions are designed to enhance productivity, improve operational consistency and strengthen workplace safety, enabling employees to focus on higher-value responsibilities while robots handle repetitive or potentially hazardous tasks.
DRONE VOLT & HPAC | France and Saudi Arabia – Expanding Integrated Drone Solutions
X-GEN’s agreement with DRONE VOLT, a French drone technology company represented in the Middle East by Saudi-based distributor HPAC, establishes a framework for cooperation in professional drone technologies and integrated industrial solutions.
The collaboration will initially focus on opportunities in Egypt, while exploring a reciprocal cooperation model in Saudi Arabia.
The parties aim to combine their complementary products, technological capabilities and operational expertise, while exploring joint product development and customized applications for different industries.
Beyond conventional product distribution, the partnership will adopt an enterprise solutions approach, focusing on identifying specific industry challenges and delivering integrated technologies tailored to operational requirements.
DRONE VOLT’s professional drone portfolio includes solutions for industrial inspection, surveillance, thermography, surface treatment and search-and-rescue operations, serving sectors such as energy, construction, civil engineering and security.
Amir Wahid: Our Goal Is to Deliver Solutions, Not Simply Supply Equipment
Commenting on the partnerships, Amir Wahid, Co-Founder and CEO of X-GEN, said:
“Egypt has the talent, engineering capabilities and ambition to become a significant player in advanced technology.
Our partnerships with leading international companies are not simply about bringing robots and drones into the market. They are about combining global innovation with Egyptian expertise to develop solutions that address real challenges, improve productivity and create lasting value.
We want X-GEN to be a strategic technology partner to industries, not just an equipment distributor. Whether in infrastructure, agriculture, industrial operations or public services, our focus is on understanding the challenge first and delivering the right solution.
By building these international partnerships, we are contributing to Egypt’s technological capabilities while creating opportunities for regional collaboration and expansion.”
Global Technology, Egyptian Expertise and Regional Ambitions
The three agreements reflect X-GEN’s broader strategy to establish an integrated technology ecosystem that combines advanced international solutions with Egyptian engineering, technical expertise and operational capabilities.
Rather than focusing on standalone products, the company aims to develop customized solutions that address industry-specific requirements, support digital transformation and improve efficiency, safety and productivity.
By strengthening its relationships with international technology leaders, X-GEN seeks to contribute to the development of Egypt’s advanced technology sector, expand local expertise and create new opportunities for cooperation across regional markets.
The partnerships were announced during Cairo ICT 2026, where X-GEN showcased its expanding portfolio of robotics, drones and intelligent systems, highlighting the practical applications of advanced technologies across multiple industries.
