Amazon strives to be Earth's most customer-centric company where people can find and discover virtually anything they want to buy online. By giving customers more of what they want - low prices, vast selection, and convenience - Amazon continues to grow and evolve as a world-class e-commerce platform.
Founded by Jeff Bezos, the Amazon.com website started in 1995 as a place to buy books because of the unique customer experience the Web could offer book lovers. Bezos believed that only the Internet could offer customers the convenience of browsing a selection of millions of book titles in a single sitting. During the first 30 days of business, Amazon fulfilled orders for customers in 50 states and 45 countries - all shipped from his Seattle-area garage.
Amazon's evolution from Web site to e-commerce partner to development platform is driven by the spirit of innovation that is part of the company's DNA. The world's brightest technology minds come to Amazon.com to research and develop technology that improves the lives of shoppers and sellers around the world.
LINKdotNET is Egypt’s leading internet service provider - being the first to offer internet services in the country since 1992. LINKdotNET got acquired by Orange Egypt (Mobinil) in a landmark deal that took place in July 2010. The deal potential improves customers’ access to a wide array of integrated communications services, creates high value for shareholders, and benefits Egypt’s telecom sector and the country’s overall economy.
The National Bank of Egypt (NBE) was established on the 25th of June 1898, as an Egyptian joint stock company, with a capital of GBP 1 mn. It was the first bank to issue banknotes in Egypt, as it assumed the functions of the central bank until 1960. As of January 1, 1961, NBE continued to act purely as a commercial bank, becoming the oldest commercial bank in Egypt. Since its establishment, the Bank has been the cornerstone of Egypt’s national economy, thanks to its effective contributions to financing mega national projects.
