History

The campus was created by the Egyptian businessman, Ahmed Elalfy.^{[5][2] [6]}

In 1964, the campus was sold to the American University in Cairo (AUC) to expand and accommodate more students, where it was dubbed “The Greek Campus”.^[7] For 50 years it housed the AUC library, Social Sciences building and Jameel Center, among other buildings.

Upon AUC's relocation to another campus on the outskirts of Cairo in 2008, a long term rental contract was entered into with Tahrir Alley Technology Park (TATP), the operating company of The GrEEK Campus.^[8] This rental saw the park become Egypt's first ever technology park.

Expansion

In mid-2019, The GrEEK Campus established a partnership with Monsha'at (the Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority) to manage the operations of Startup Hub Khobar in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province.^[9]

In 2020, The GrEEK Campus launched its second location in Cairo, in Mall of Arabia's commercial workspaces in 6 October City, spanning 3 zones on a total area of 5,545 m².^[10]
