AGERI attaches a high priority to collaborating with the private sector which will be fully informed of research and development in the field of genetic engineering and biotechnology in Egypt through:

• circulation of newsletters and reports

• inviting representatives of the private sector to
   workshops and seminars

• participation of the private sector in the design of
   products’ research and development

• representation of the private sector in the governing
   board of AGERI

 

As one of the leading institutions in the field of agricultural genetic engineering in the regions of West Asia, North Africa and the Middle East, AGERI is planning to share their know-how and experience with other countries within the framework of Technical Co-operation among Developing Countries (TCDC). This will be achieved through the organization of specialized workshops, seminars and internships. Moreover, the institute may provide professional consultation in the field of molecular biology and agricultural genetic engineering .
