Explore our institutes and impact
We recognize the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and its capacity to drive innovation across industries.
Our research is industry and sector-relevant and focuses on national and global priorities. Across our institutes we are releasing groundbreaking frontier models, advancing fields like genomics and personalized medicine, and global food security.
We aim to incubate value-creating startups that not only thrive in the MENA region but also have the potential to make waves on a global scale.
There is a symbiosis between the University and the startup and innovation ecosystem around it, centered on the university’s intellectual power. There is a critical need for technology transfer and supportive policies, and organizational infrastructure to allow faculty and students to actively work with industrial partners and solve problems.
We foster an environment that encourages faculty, staff, and students to be entrepreneurial and build startups based on their inventions and innovations. Many faculty, researchers, alumni, and students have already had success in securing patents or creating successful startups.
Through tailored mentorship, access to cutting-edge resources, and a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, our Incubation and Entrepreneurship Center (IEC) plays a vital role in supporting homegrown startups.
