The Big Idea

One line.
4,500 years.

Egypt has never stopped building — from the Pyramids of Giza to the newest towers on the skyline. PwC ETIC belongs to that same, unbroken line of ambition.

We take PwC's own Momentum Mark and draw it into space as a single orange line of light — the line of the build. It runs through the new ETIC building, leaves it, crosses the city, and re-appears at the Pyramids.

  • The line ignites at the ETIC entrance and guides guests floor-by-floor through the building.
  • It peaks in the immersive theatre — the emotional climax of Event 1.
  • It leaves the building, crosses the city, and arrives at Giza as the spine of Event 2.

"Swap PwC for any competitor and the line breaks — only PwC ETIC can claim Egypt's 4,500-year line of the build."

Event 01 · The ETIC Experience

Inside the new building — a guided tour transformed into a living journey of light.

Arrival · The Approach

The Approach

A technology-led arrival on the real ETIC façade — a glowing orange line draws guests from the drop-off to the door.

  • Slim LED totems line the palm axis — modern wayfinding, no traditional gates
  • Daytime-proof: totems keep content vivid in Cairo daylight
  • The Momentum Line Gate transforms the entrance into an immersive branded passage

The line begins at the door.

  • Interactive stand per floor — consistent content across all floors
  • Flagship floors add ETIC.ai — the technology introduces itself
  • ETIC.ai blueprint delivered separately — handed to PwC IT for integration on their timeline
ETIC.ai

Meet ETIC.ai

A PwC-branded AI avatar host — live on every flagship floor of the ETIC building. The technology is the demo — ETIC.ai introduces the building by being the building.

Ceiling Activation — The 5th Surface

Turning Overhead Space Into a Moment

The fifth surface is the most under-utilised real estate in any event space. Two overhead layers that make guests look up.

Ceiling Path
01 · The Path

The Line from Above

  • Short-throw projectors trace the Momentum Line from entrance through atrium to theatre
  • Motion-reactive: footsteps trigger data ripples along the line in real time
  • Wayfinding without signage — the brand IS the guide
Ceiling Danglers
02 · The Mark

The Danglers

  • Laser-cut acrylic panels — the Momentum Mark in 3D, suspended from ceiling grid
  • Three clusters: entrance foyer, corridor mid-point, registration hall
  • 12–18 pieces at staggered 2.8m–4.5m heights — no power required, no rigging modifications

Look up. The brand is already there.

Momentum Stage
Event 2 · The Stage & Show

The Momentum Stage

  • Low, wide curved platform — LED wings frame the Pyramids without blocking them
  • LED wings each 18m wide × 6m tall — stage axis aligned dead-centre on Khafre
  • All three monuments visible from every guest position — Pyramids remain the hero

Ancient Ingenuity. Contemporary Intelligence.

  • The show opens with the geometry of the Pyramids — parallelograms, proportions, the original engineering data
  • Content evolves: ancient lines morph into ETIC's global network — countries, capabilities, technology impact
  • The Pyramids remain dark during speech; become part of the choreography at the reveal
  • A final lighting sequence connects the Momentum Mark to the pyramid apex — the line that never stopped

"The Pyramids are not a location. They are a co-author of the ETIC story."
