The
Egyptian Satellite Company, Nilesat has celebrated a remarkable milestone—25
years of partnership with French companies. The occasion was marked by a
special visit from French Ambassador
Éric Chevallier to Nilesat’s facilities.
Since
the launch of its first satellite, Nilesat has relied on strategic partnerships
with French organizations, a collaboration that has significantly not only contributed
to its success but also strengthen historic relationship that has led to the construction
and deployment of all Egyptian satellites over the past 25 years.
During
the visit, Ambassador Éric Chevallier commended the strong ties between the two
nations, emphasizing how the partnership has driven progress in satellite
technology and enhanced regional connectivity. Nilesat’s leadership expressed
their gratitude for the collaboration, highlighting the achievements built
together and reaffirming their commitment to continued innovation and
cooperation.
A
key highlight of the event was the acknowledgment of the historic partnership
between Nilesat and Thales Alenia
Space, a leading French aerospace manufacturer. The successful
development of the Nilesat 201
and Nilesat 301
satellites, the latter launched in 2022, exemplifies the synergy between French
technical expertise and Egyptian vision. These satellites have been
instrumental in delivering high-quality television broadcasting and
strengthening connectivity across the region.

look at the cutting-edge infrastructure dedicated to satellite operations and
television broadcasting. The visit provided a fascinating insight into the
technological advancements that underpin Nilesat’s leadership in the satellite
