 Berytech participated in two workshops organized during the third week of April in the Higher Council for Science and Technology, in the framework of the Support to Research and Technological Development and Innovation Initiative and Strategies Project (SRTD) in Amman.
The SRTD project is funded by the European Union with 4 million Euros to help the innovation and R&D sectors of the Jordanian economy. The project aims at increasing Jordan's scientific and technological capacity by fostering research and innovation linked to private sector and by accelerating the Kingdom's integration into the European Research Area. The Higher Council for Science and Technology and Jordan Enterprise are co-funding some of the activities implemented by the project.
 The two workshops aimed at grouping together the key project stakeholders and sharing ways to effectively address the needs of the Jordanian Research and Business community implementing the SRTD project. The first workshop targeted liaison officers in universities, research centers and SMEs, while the second focused on incubators belonging to Jordanian Innovation Centers.
Dr. Nicolas Rouhana’s interventions over a two-day period tackled Berytech’s experience in addressing key issues on innovation and new business support in the following areas: access to financing, consulting services to tenants, sustainability of business development centers, raising finance, etc.
Special guests to the meeting were also the members of the consortium, providing Technical Assistance to the project of which Berytech is part. Other members include Transtec, the European Business & Innovation Centre Network (EBN), Centre de Recherche Public Henri Tudor and Aide à la Décision Economique (ADE). |
