Overview

The British University in Egypt (BUE) has been envisioned as a leading research, innovation and technology hub in Egypt and MEA region. A main challenge to achieve this vision is to close the innovation cycle in order to bridge the gap between research and societal needs. This challenge was seen as an opportunity by the BUE to establish the TICO office. The TICO office will address innovation as a complete cycle of planning, capacity building, research & innovation, technology transfer and finally outreach. Each of these steps will eventually lead to bridging the gap between scientific researches in the technological field with the market needs. The TICO office will also integrate the local academic capacity of the BUE with governmental, industrial, and community abilities to support innovation in Egypt through different business- driven ventures and funded projects.
