The GrEEK Campus, also GEEK Campus,[2] is a technology park in Cairo, Egypt. The campus provides workspaces for rent, for startups, as well as established local and multinational companies.[3][4] Located in Downtown Cairo, The GrEEK Campus consists of five office buildings with a total space of 25,000 m2.
History
[edit]The campus was created by the Egyptian businessman, Ahmed Elalfy.[5][2] [6]
In 1964, the campus was sold to the American University in Cairo (AUC) to expand and accommodate more students, where it was dubbed “The Greek Campus”.[7] For 50 years it housed the AUC library, Social Sciences building and Jameel Center, among other buildings.
Upon AUC's relocation to another campus on the outskirts of Cairo in 2008, a long term rental contract was entered into with Tahrir Alley Technology Park (TATP), the operating company of The GrEEK Campus.[8] This rental saw the park become Egypt's first ever technology park.
Expansion
[edit]In mid-2019, The GrEEK Campus established a partnership with Monsha'at (the Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority) to manage the operations of Startup Hub Khobar in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province.[9]
In 2020, The GrEEK Campus launched its second location in Cairo, in Mall of Arabia's commercial workspaces in 6 October City, spanning 3 zones on a total area of 5,545 m2.[10]
