The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research holds a roundtable to strengthen the Algerian-Italian partnership in terms of innovation and university entrepreneurship

In the context of renewed dynamism in the innovation and university system, and in line with the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research’s commitment to international openness and to the development of quality partnerships, the high-level roundtable convened a select group of Algerian higher education officials alongside our partners from the friendly Italian Republic.
From the Algerian side, the strategic meeting was attended by the presidents of the regional university conferences, the president of the National Coordination Committee for the Follow-up of Innovation and University Entrepreneurship, the Deputy Director of the Directorate of International Cooperation, the president of the National Coordination Committee for the Follow-up of International Innovation and Entrepreneurship Programmes, the National Coordinator of the Entrepreneurship Development Centres (CDE) and the National Coordinator of University Incubators. The rectors of Constantine 3 University, Oran 2 University, Setif 1 University, Ouargla University, Tlemcen University and Bab Ezzouar University were also present.
Representatives from the University of Genoa and the Italian business incubator (FILSE) participated on the Italian side.
The discussions at this roundtable focused on exploring cooperation opportunities between the University of Genoa, the FILSE business incubator on one side, and seven Algerian universities on the other. This collaboration mainly emphasised on the following areas:
• Entrepreneurial education and pedagogical innovation;
• Training in university entrepreneurship;
• Development of incubator programmes and entrepreneurship development centres;
• International experience exchange and the establishment of joint supervision and support programmes.

This qualitative initiative is a strategic step towards the internationalisation of Algerian universities. It demonstrates a firm dedication to foster an environment of innovation, connecting universities directly to the real economy, and equip students and researchers with global tools necessary for developing entrepreneurial projects with regional and international competitiveness.
