In an effort to empower national talent in developing strong market fit digital solutions, Zayed University has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Injazat, UAE’s home-grown technology champion in Digital Transformation, cloud, and cybersecurity, to mentor students on EdTech projects.
The programme will benefit from InGenius, the dynamic innovation lab by Injazat that follows the methodology of using agile practices, lean processes, and design thinking to bring ideas to life and Zayed’s interdisciplinary approach, which is based on radically flipped classrooms, where students engage in deep processing through extensive use of polls, debates, and collaborative work.
Ussama Dahabiyeh, CEO, Injazat, said: “We are delighted to extend our expertise through G42 to nurture the students of Zayed University. It is extremely encouraging to see students taking the lead on developing cutting edge technology that will benefit their environment and industry. This collaboration is a testament to Injazat’s commitment towards investing in the talent pipeline of the country who will translate ideas into solutions needed for the industry’s most pressing problems and we couldn’t be prouder of today’s announcement.”
Jumana Salem, Vice President, EdTech, Injazat and Chief Program Lead, said: “The first phase of the collaboration saw students working with Injazat experts to identify the need for building platforms that redefine traditional schooling, evaluating the potential and limitations of technology in assisting students with learning difficulties, and also helping address and overcome some of the challenges that persist in online learning.”
