GIA HUB

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.
