AntX, a leading R&D-as-a-Service provider, has officially completed its acquisition of the educational technology startup Magnum Egypt, marking a significant step in the development of Upper Egypt’s entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem.
The transaction is designed to integrate advanced technology development with early-stage talent cultivation, creating a model that links industrial innovation directly with hands-on technical training and regional workforce development.
AntX has built its reputation as a specialist in electronic solutions, embedded systems and the Internet of Things. Operating from Upper Egypt, the company provides research and development services to a wide range of industrial sectors.
Magnum Egypt has established itself within the edtech sector by delivering practical robotics and electronics training to students. Through partnerships with schools across multiple governorates, the company focuses on preparing a future-ready workforce of engineers and technical professionals.
The acquisition is centred on creating a seamless link between classroom learning and industrial application. Magnum’s educational programmes will now feed directly into AntX’s R&D pipeline, enabling the parallel development of market-ready products and a highly skilled workforce to support them.
Ahmed Emad, CEO of AntX, noted that Magnum provides a solid foundation with a well-defined product, significantly enhancing AntX’s capacity for rapid expansion.
Mohamed Rashed, founder of Magnum Egypt, described the merger as a natural transition that provides a more sustainable and resource-rich framework to amplify the startup’s educational impact.
The deal reflects a broader shift in the business maturity of Upper Egypt, demonstrating how regional organisations can move beyond traditional startup models to achieve structured, institutional growth through strategic integration.
By aligning technical education with the needs of modern industry, the partnership creates a direct pathway to careers in engineering and industrial automation while strengthening the region’s ability to retain local talent and compete in the global technology economy.
The acquisition positions AntX and Magnum Egypt at the forefront of a growing movement to connect education with industry-led research, supporting long-term economic development and reinforcing Upper Egypt’s status as a rising hub for innovation and industrial technology.
