KONE Opens First Training Center in Egypt

KONE has opened its first Training Center in Egypt, marking a key milestone in supporting Egypt Vision 2030 and the country’s expanding urban infrastructure. The facility aims to build local capabilities, strengthen safety and meet the rising need for skilled professionals as Egypt develops new cities and high-rise projects. Located in Cairo, the center, which supports KONE’s Rise Strategy, offers hands-on, immersive training to technicians, engineers and service professionals. It applies a modern, skill-based approach combining elevator mock-ups, virtual reality, safety simulations and smart maintenance tools. In addition to training, the facility functions as a multipurpose hub for remote connectivity, real-time monitoring and spare parts support. It enables remote service operations, Internet of Things (IoT) integration and data analytics, enhancing responsiveness through solutions like KONE 24/7 Connected Services, which provide predictive maintenance and real-time performance insights. The on-site parts hub also ensures faster service and improved uptime across Egypt’s growing network.
