Bridging Academia and Industry

More than a conference — The CU-AI Nexus 2025 is a premier venue dedicated to showcasing the practical application of AI solutions through genuine partnerships between academia, industry, and government. We invite researchers, innovators, and practitioners to share their groundbreaking work that demonstrates the tangible social and economic benefits of AI and shape the future of AI in Egypt.
