The objectives of this agreement include:
• Instilling an entrepreneurial spirit by establishing modern and joint training programmes in entrepreneurship for students and graduates.
• Allocating university spaces and various environments for the development and strengthening of entrepreneurial skills.
• Supporting project holders in creating micro-enterprises based on an innovative economic approach that meets market demands.
• Strengthening cooperation and the exchange of expertise in the field of entrepreneurship between both parties, while benefiting from joint collaboration programmes to develop research projects tailored to the needs of the micro-enterprise sector.
This agreement represents an important step in enhancing the role of universities in the development of the national economy by encouraging innovation and a spirit of initiative among young people, and contributing to the creation of an environment conducive to innovation and progress.
