This expansion supports Jumia’s advanced tech operations in Egypt, which hosts one of
the group’s largest technology centers in Africa.
This contributes to developing smart supply chain solutions and enhancing the customer experience.
Egypt is one of Jumia’s largest technology hubs, home to a distinguished group of engineers and developers working on digital solutions and smart logistics systems to support operations across various African countries.
During the event, Engineer Abdel Latif Olama presented a detailed presentation highlighting

The warehouse inauguration is part of a broader strategic expansion plan being implemented
by Jumia to enhance its infrastructure across the continent, contributing to accelerated growth.
Similar facilities have already been launched in Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Ghana, and Morocco,
further cementing Jumia’s position as a key partner in driving digital transformation and economic development in Africa.
