At KONE, customer experience has always been central to how the company works with its customers.

The introduction of myKONE supports KONE's Rise strategy by accelerating digitalization and reinforcing the company's customer-centric approach. As Egypt continues to invest in smarter buildings and modern infrastructure, KONE remains committed to bringing global innovations to the local market that create lasting value for customers. By combining engineering excellence with digital innovation, KONE is helping shape a future where outstanding project delivery is defined not only by the quality of the solutions installed, but also by the quality of the customer experience delivered throughout the journey.
