As part of its efforts to strengthen partnerships with the industrial sector and align academic and practical expertise with labour market needs, the German Jordanian University (GJU), through its Technology, Research and Innovation Park (TRIP), signed two cooperation agreements with WashyWash and OrganicG. The University also signed a cooperation agreement with Volt Training Academy through its Consulting and Training Center. The agreements were signed during the Industrial Partnership Conference (IPC), held as part of the Future Tech Summit 2026.
In the field of sustainable chemical research, GJU is working with WashyWash, a Jordanian company specialising in cleaning and laundry services, to develop sustainable chemical formulations and environmentally friendly products. The collaboration was facilitated by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ). The agreement was signed by Mr. Mazen Darwish, representing the company.
The project is supervised by Dr. Ahmad Al-Badarin and his research team. It aims to develop innovative chemical formulations, biodegradable materials, and sustainable alternatives, as well as prepare and test prototypes, paving the way for products with industrial applications and commercial potential.
In the field of organic waste management and agricultural solutions, GJU is working with OrganicG, a company specialising in sustainable composting and organic waste management, to develop a solution linking organic waste management with agricultural irrigation. The agreement was signed by Eng. Randa Samara, representing the company.
The project, led by Dr. Ahmad Al-Shawawra, aims to develop an irrigation system that makes use of the liquid fertiliser produced through composting without requiring additional pumps or electricity, building on the company's previous experiments.
In the field of technical training, the Consulting and Training Center, in partnership with Volt Training Academy, is implementing specialised training programmes in electric and hybrid vehicle engineering. These programmes aim to develop trainees' practical and technical skills and prepare qualified professionals to keep pace with developments in the sector and meet labour market needs.
These partnerships reflect GJU's commitment to expanding its network of relationships with industrial institutions and leveraging its academic and research expertise to develop practical solutions and specialised training programmes that respond to the needs of productive sectors and technological advancements.
