First Egyptian agriculture weather station made in Egypt by MSA graduates from faculty of Engineering through their start up company “short circuit design co “ ,under supervision of Dr Said Mabrouk with effective and competitive cost lower than the foreign stations by 60 % , this stations is used for measuring different parameters for weather and soil as temp , humidity , wind speed , wind direction , soil temp , soil moisture , EC , soil salenty and other parameter as needed , these parameters are sent on local server , web server ,or cloud as the clients need , many applications can be done on the data sent for diseases forecasting, calculating the Eto which indicates the water quantity required for irrigation , Fertilization status , affect and many different applications can be done for smart agriculture .

As red palm weevils is huge problem in agriculture that affect the palm tree in Egypt and most of countries, Team from MSA graduate under the support of TTO has developed a device using safe electromagnetic waves to get rid of the weevils instead of using chemicals that is very harmful to the tree and the device has proved its success by testing it in many farms and analysis for the results in red palm weevils research center.

Due to the million and half Fadden’s National project’s needs, Egypt plans to have monitoring network for the water level and quality for all water wells to save the wasted water and control the overdraft usage . Therefore team of faculty of Engineering graduates with the support of TTO have developed prototype for water well monitoring and control system that monitor the water level and send these real time data to the central station and send warning in case of excessive usage of water ,also it can be remotely controlled.

The system has been tested in the ministry of irrigation by the MSA graduates team and the technical team from the ministry, the results was incredible that the system accuracy was better than the foreign systems. And the ministry accept to start pilot project to develop four systems made by MSA .

Water scarcity on of the most important challenge in Egypt nowadays , TTO office support devolping Smart Application called IRWI for water resources smart management in Egypt by helping the Egyptian farmers to know how much to irrigate and when to irrigate according to the planted crops and locations ,also IRWI provides the farmer by the weather parameters ,harvesting date ,crop health , and the season statistics with user friendly mobile application .

GICO office is concerned with defining the potential funding local and international opportunities for research projects. It also improves the opportunities of getting international technical / financial support for the research projects. GICO Supports the researchers in the field of managing and following –up of the research projects.

Creativity and innovation are the hallmarks of university research's rapid growth and the subsequent transfer of technology components to society. No doubt promoting innovative research, working to protect it, and translating it into patents push the wheel of economic growth and provides job opportunities and new industries, thus indicating the university's high status and its researchers. Hence, the university makes much effort to help its children obtain patents and support them in everything related to this noble destination.

The office aims to encourage innovators to transform their ideas and creativity into products of economic value, link them with manufacturers, and preserve their intellectual rights, which will lead to the promotion of the university locally and internationally.

TTO is the technology transfer office established in MSA university in October 2018 and funded by the ASRT to support the applied researches to be ready for the market and technology commercialization by connecting the researchers to the industrial Beneficiaries and facilitate to researchers the process of implementations their innovative ideas by providing different types of support as financial, Technical, Marketing, relations and others.

- Support innovation and technology in the areas that, according to the national vision, down to entrepreneurship by developing the business of existing firms (spin off), and establish small and medium projects.

- All of that were the main motives behind the initiative of the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology (ASRT) to create a network consists of specialized offices aiming to support innovation, technology transfer and commercialization (TICO) in industry, agricultural and services communities.

- Achieve the scientific management of these offices. This management should work on adapting and transferring the results of researches , studies , innovations , and inventions to the execution bodies, nearby at first , then across the country through the network that connecting different offices via the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology.

- Support the (industry, agricultural and services) effectively in order to build trust and reach to the active partnerships with the scientific research through mutual interaction, which can happen by adopting and publishing success stories.

Through its GICO, TISC, and TTO offices provide many types of services as follows:

- Enable partnership between academia and the industry.

- Support the scientific publishing, patents registration, and developing of new technologies.

- Promote successful examples in the field of scientific research to take advantage from them.

- Enable our MSA staff to innovate and develop high standard research, artifacts that are eligible to resolve real industrial problems.

- Avail and share open calls and grants for our MSA staff to be able to utilize for their scientific research and development.

- Assist in developing the prototypes and half manufactured models.

- Support and promote innovation, and technology transfer  and commercialization inside the execution bodies , communities, and industrial associations , which  located nearby as a first precedence. 

- Improve capabilities, qualifications, and efficiency of human resources working in the field of technology transfer through training programs at home and abroad.
