Participation in the twenty-seventh session of the Cairo International Technology Fair
The Electronics Research Institute participated in the Cairo International Technology Fair (Cairo ICT 2023), which will be held from November 19 to 22, under the patronage of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, at the Egypt International Exhibition Center, Fifth Settlement - New Cairo. For her part, Dr. Sherine Muhammad Abdel Qader Muharram, Head of the Electronics Research Institute, explained that the Institute is participating this year in a variety of technological outputs, through its participation in two technological incubators, namely (Tariq Incubator and Green Electropekia Incubator), in addition to its participation in many emerging companies that It is supported by the Science and Technology City of Electronics Research and Industry of the Institute (STPERI) in nurturing young researchers, innovators, entrepreneurs and start-ups. Dr. Sherine Muhammad Abdel Qader Muharram pointed out that the “Tareeq” incubator is the first technological incubator specialized in the electronics industry, which was conducted under the supervision of the Electronics Research Institute, and with the support and funding of the national program “Intilaaq” launched by the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology, pointing to the “Green Electronics” incubator. It is also considered the first Egyptian governmental incubator specialized in the field of electronic waste recycling. It is managed under the supervision of the Electronics Research Institute and funded by the Center for Environment and Development for the Arab Region and Europe (CEDARI). This is in addition to the participation of the Science and Technology City for Electronics Research and Manufacturing, affiliated with the Electronics Research Institute, with the first startup company, “Ranker Digital Technology,” specialized in the field of e-sports, in addition to the participation of the “RF Box Design and Engineering Consulting” company, which works in the field of manufacturing, developing, and marketing lithium batteries. In addition to the participation of the founders of RCYKL, which is considered one of the latest startup companies that will be hosted at the Institute’s headquarters in the Science and Technology City for Electronics Research and Industry in the field of electronic waste management and recycling. The President of the Electronics Research Institute also confirmed that the Institute’s participation in this international event comes within the framework of the Institute’s keenness to link scientific research with industry, direct scientific research to serve society, and provide the opportunity for entrepreneurs and emerging companies present at the Institute’s headquarters and the Science City to communicate with businessmen and experts, in addition to building relationships. And local and international partnerships, in line with Egypt’s 2030 strategy and the vision of the Ministry of Higher Education. To reshape the frameworks linking institutions of higher education and scientific research with industry, which is considered an important step towards achieving integration and scientific and research cooperation between them, explaining that this aims to enhance the interaction between scientific research and practical application, and transform research results into solutions and innovations usable in industry and other sectors. It is worth noting that the “Tariq” incubator participated in the exhibition with three teams: the “virdi” team, which designs and produces a highly efficient charger for electric cars that is compatible with most types of cars, and the “Bus14” team, which provides smart and innovative solutions, through an electronic portal that makes the transport process easier. School students are secure, suitable for most groups, and cheap in price. The Edu Smart team designs and implements interactive educational tools for educational materials, making them easy and useful to support students and the educational process. Kamal also participated in the “Green Electronics” incubator with three teams: the “Electronic Components” team; By researcher Hoda Farouk, who recycles electronic waste from projects by students in colleges of engineering and universities of technology; With the aim of making the most of these components, whether by reusing electronic components again or repairing them, the RE-TECH team, by engineer Omnia Ihab, is an application for collecting electronic waste, in addition to refurbishing some electronic devices and giving them an environmentally friendly label, and recycling some old devices to extract metals. Precious ones, and reusing them in other industries, in addition to the participation of the “Battarity” team, by engineer Youssef Maher, which recycles lithium-ion batteries.
