Officials from Virginia Tech, Cairo University, and the Egyptian government meet to discuss the creation of Nile University

OIRED is working with PaL-Tech, a private sector firm, to establish Nile University—a university devoted exclusively to high technology subjects. Nile University will offer undergrad, master’s and Ph.D. programs in: IT, Communications, Biotech, Emerging Technology, and Alternative Energy Solutions.

Nile University will enhance Egyptian education and training systems so that they can respond more efficiently to the needs of the private sector. This will help create the base for a modern IT-oriented workforce.
