Abstract

Developing countries are increasingly adopting in-house Tablet manufacturing as a result of the cost-effectiveness and significance of tablets. This paper provides a comparative insight into the Tablet manufacturing industry, focusing on Egypt and India. Tablet manufacturing and use in the educational institutions of both nations are ambitious endeavors. Further resemblances can be observed in terms of population and economic obstacles. Despite the Egyptian and Indian initiatives commencing concurrently, the Indian initiative has accumulated more substantial accomplishments. The research examines the tablet computer industry in Egypt along three technological axes: domestic manufacturing, joint production, and contracting with international manufacturing firms. The industry challenges faced by Egypt are analyzed and provide suggestions for the development of this critical sector, with a specific focus on the education industry.
