Accelerators

Government organizations have to take a leadership position early, with
other sectors following closely behind.

The increase cost of the power in all forms (oil , electricity , etc … ) .

The increase demand for cost efficient technologies .

The top management commitment towards the green clean technology .

The openness and the world exposure the institution have that make it a
ready environment the State of the art practices and technologies .

The need for differentiation and attracting the attention of the global
research universities and institutes

Blockers

The lack of Standards for the academic green services
and technologies

The misconception that being green is being more
expensive

The lake of public awareness of the benefits of being
clean green

The local market of suppliers in Egypt may not be
ready for the demand of Green Technologies
