Arab Finance: Egypt held the seventh position worldwide as a global leader in critical project management disciplines, according to the Project Management Institute (PMI).

With nearly 30,000 certified professionals worldwide, Egypt anchored its position as a powerhouse of project talent, reflecting its role as a global hub for project excellence.

This millstone can be attributed to the nation’s current focus on delivering complex and national projects, such as the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), AlDabaa Nuclear Plant, and the Transport infrastructure development.  

Hany Alshazly, Executive Director of the Project Management Institute in MENA, said: “Our estimations predict a 34.8% surge in demand for project professionals in Egypt by 2035, and we are committed to equipping the workforce with future-ready skills to meet that demand.”

“This initiative will support the execution of national megaprojects and create opportunities for young talent to lead the country’s development agenda.”

Meanwhile, Egypt needs 225,000 project professionals by 2035, up from 167,000 in 2025. This translates into a talent gap of nearly 69,000 roles, according to PMI’s 2025 Global Project Management Talent Gap report.
