Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center
Jouf University focuses its research
The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center is directly linked to the Vice Rector for Graduate Studies and Scientific Research at the university. It works to support the entrepreneurship ecosystem within the university, specifically, and in the Al-Jouf region, generally. The center contributes to spreading the culture of entrepreneurship and provides support to young people, helping them turn their dreams into reality, which not only builds their self-reliance but also strengthens the national economy. This is achieved through a comprehensive package of services, consultations, facilities, and support mechanisms provided for a specific period, enabling them to eventually become self-sufficient and establish their entrepreneurial projects outside the center's incubators.
