Our
Story
For more than 13 years we have been helping in creating a culture of innovation that can gather the Academia, Industry, and Government in one solid ground.
We believe a community that is based on Innovation, Education, Science, and Technology is a community able to make the world a better place.
GIE started with the Start with Google competition in 2011. Since then, we have been bringing innovators, private sectors, knowledge institutes, and governments to solve challenges, generate innovative ideas and solutions.
Moving forward, we were growing our programs to cover all the innovation axes in the region; from education programs, technology competitions, to science programs, and sustainability projects.
Today, we have almost 17 projects, programs, and initiatives in different focus areas across the MENA region and the world, inspiring generations of innovators to change the future into a better place.
Our Mission
To Develop The Innovation
Ecosystem in The MENA Region.
Innovation stems not only from giving people incentives, but also from creating environments where their ideas can connect, evolve, and become viable.
This is the core of GIE. We work to accelerate innovation in the MENA region through consultation, program design, and initiatives implementation.
It’s a continuous process where the axes of the quadruple helix of innovation, such as Government, Private sector, Academia, and other Communities, come together and are integrated through their contribution to several technology, innovation, and education programs and initiatives that we design and implement. Consulting different stakeholders and corporations in their digital transformation is an integral part of this process.
