The Technology Pyramid is a technology park that will constitute the area of confluence between R&D and the market. The Pyramid has two primary functions. It will provide gifted graduates and technology entrepreneurs the opportunity to incubate and develop new technologies and industries. Zewail City of Science and Technology will provide some financial assistance and appropriate space on a contractual basis to enhance the level of entrepreneurship and the establishment of new industries.
Equally important, the Technology Pyramid will provide the opportunity for research cooperation with various sectors of technologically advanced industries. Many of these will have a presence at Zewail City, especially those that are of mutual benefit in R&D. Such services will aid in the building of a technology base and, just as importantly, in retaining gifted young people in the country. In the long term, the Pyramid should generate, through joint agreements, a considerable source of income for Zewail City.
