NTG Clarity Networks Inc. (CDNX: NCI), a leader in delivering network, IT and infrastructure solutions to telecommunications service providers, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with CIDA's Industrial Cooperation Program. Through this agreement, CIDA will contribute up to 70% of the costs involved in preparing a viability study and implementation plan to develop NTG Clarity's wholly owned Egyptian subsidiary, NTG Clarity Egypt Advanced Software.

The grant will enable NTG Clarity to build the new subsidiary as a profitable business, utilizing the proven technology and strong knowledge base from its Canadian operations. The plan will also look at ways to ensure that the project returns positive social and economic impacts to the host country, Egypt.
