“Jobs creation through responsible innovations”

Background and description

In 2013, the Office for Industrial Links (OIL) started to implement activities that will lead to the establishment of a Technology Transfer, Innovation and Entrepreneurship support office. The main role of this office is to establish an innovation and startup culture at GJU and to develop Technology Transfer.

The program is linked to the career services of the university. This center will help the students/graduates to gain the understanding of the different paths and provide them with the tools to select and proceed with their best fit career path.
