The panel discussion will explore how Egypt Post works to digitize postal services and adopt the digital postbox, in line with Egypt’s Vision 2030 and the national digital transformation strategy.
 
Participants will discuss the role of digital platforms in ensuring equality and transparency, facilitating nationwide access to secure communications, protecting people’s privacy through end-to-end encryption, enhancing inclusiveness, building trust within the public sector, and ensuring smooth business operations through reliable digital postal services.
