UNIVERSITY OVERVIEW
Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane (AUI) is an institution of higher education and scientific and technical research. It contributes to the historical and cultural vocation of the Kingdom of Morocco, an Arab-African nation occupying a privileged geostrategic position, belonging to Islamic civilization, and open to Europe, America and Asia.
AUI is thus designed as a Moroccan university, original in its organizational and educational approach, using modem methods to disseminate Arab-Islamic and African culture, universal knowledge, science and advanced technology. Rooted in the noble Arab and Mediterranean humanist tradition, dynamically adapted to modern times, AUI aims to train graduates with high academic qualifications, in permanent quest of knowledge and culture, aware of their social obligations and imbued with the values of human solidarity and tolerance.
AUI contributes to the attainment of Morocco's educational, cultural and economic objectives and serves the international community, notably through: the advancement of science and technology; the training of graduates with strong academic and professional qualifications; the implementation of research programs in all areas of national or international interest, with particular emphasis on major national or regional socio-economic issues. The vocation of Al Akhawayn University concerns:
- higher education in all fields of knowledge
- mastery of advanced technologies and the promotion of scientific and technical research;
- continuing education and the dissemination of advanced scientific knowledge
The incubator will be operated by Alakhawayn University in Ifrane, a non-profit organization, created by Royal Decree (Dahir). At a first stage, it will operate, in an autonomous way, as a business unit within AUI. Supported by funding provided by Alakhawayn University and various organizations and individuals, the incubator will provide a comprehensive range of services to its tenant startups to help them achieve growth, stability, and commercial success. It is expected that in the long run the incubator will spin off as a separate entity with AUI being the major shareholder.
