What is GIA Hub?

Government Industry Academia Hub (GIA Hub) is  one of the largest initiatives for collaboration between government, industry and academia in the MEA region.

It aims to bridge the gap between the three ecosystems to enhance economic and social development in our countries by improving the quality of education and fostering innovation in the academic sectors. This will, in turn, improve the employability of youth and promote the implementation of technologies in industry and government sectors.

The IoT & AI Initiative

Mission: The triple helix model of innovation

Bringing technology, academic, and industry communities together has been our objective since we started this initiative. We managed to reach out to almost all the Arab countries, then we expanded the program to reach Africa.

We introduce you to the IoT and AI Initiative; the community building program that develops an ecosystem based on IoT & AI with customized challenges that helps generations to improve their innovative ideas into investable businesses by going through 3 phases of Ideation, Training & Technical Support, and Demo days for each track: High Schools, Universities, and Startups.

The Initiative comprises two challenges for both the Arab and Africa region, and the Knowledge Hub which is an educational platform for technology courses, tutorials, and sessions.

What we do

For the 4th Edition,

We are working Towards Catalyzing Innovation, Boosting Economic Growth!

To provide undisputed opportunities for all parties from governments, industries, and academia to collaborate for realizing their common goals towards the sustainable economic and social development of the MEA region.

We are committed to helping our partners network through programs and activities that bridge the gap among them, catalyze the innovation processes, empower community, boosting technology and scale up collaboration across the MEA region.

Collaboration between Industry, Academia, and Government is key to catalyzing innovation and growth in communities. We launched this 1st of a kind initiative in 2021 to foster collaboration between the three ecosystems.

 

The initiative comprises main activities that enable and accelerate this collaboration by bringing together diverse communities. With the help of our experts, speakers, and different collaborators from diverse sectors, we are making sure that all parties are connected to discuss, shape, and implement the new digital future.
