KONE, Arab International Optronics Explore Smart Mobility Collaboration in Egypt

KONE has signed a Letter of Intent with Arab International Optronics (AIO) to explore opportunities in smart mobility, sustainable infrastructure and advanced industrial solutions in Egypt.

The agreement was signed in Cairo in the presence of Egypt’s Minister of Industry, Khaled Hashem, and Finland’s Ambassador to Egypt, Riikka Eela.

The proposed collaboration brings together KONE’s elevator, escalator and People Flow expertise with AIO’s local industrial and technology capabilities. The two companies will assess opportunities related to future-ready mobility systems, infrastructure innovation and sustainable urban development.

For KONE, the move reinforces Egypt’s importance as a growth and manufacturing market in the region. The company said its local engagement aligns with Egypt Vision 2030, particularly the push towards smarter, more sustainable urban communities.

AIO, which supports local industrial development and advanced technology initiatives, sees the agreement as an opportunity to combine international know-how with Egyptian capabilities.

Ahmed Fathi, Managing Director of KONE Egypt, said the Letter of Intent is intended to create long-term value for the local market by developing reliable mobility solutions suited to Egypt’s changing urban landscape.

The agreement does not yet outline specific projects or commercial commitments. Instead, it establishes a framework for the companies to evaluate future collaboration in areas including smart infrastructure, industrial technology and people movement solutions.
