ASTF Overview

Owned & Organized by

	We need to create real market places for R&D activities outside the university laboratories and research centers for more interaction with the industrial sector. The MIA competition is a first-of-a-kind program on a pan-Arab level that will create such possibilities. Not only will it help university students and researchers to market their findings and develop their entrepreneurial skills, but it will also create awareness of and build trust in the ability of Arab technology experts to answer local technological and development challenges
		Dr. Abdalla A. Alnajjar President, Arab Science & Technology Foundation (ASTF)
