It aims to bridge the gap between scientific research and industry by supporting technology transfer, funding research projects, and fostering collaboration between Arab and international scientific communities. ASTF provides mentorship and financial support to Arab entrepreneurs and startups, helping them develop innovative solutions and bring their ideas to market.
