"Our involvement in the YIA project matches our goal to increase the number and quality of future scientists by providing them with the knowledge and tools necessary for their success. We look forward to taking part in the activities organized by Nahdet el Mahrousa to implement its YIA project aiming at enriching and promoting Egypt's scientific culture."

said Antoine Rizkallah, DuPont Building Innovations - Egypt and NA Leader.

The Awareness Lectures are the first step to encourage students to participate in the YIA's annual competition aiming at nominating 7 award winners who will be granted research grants to fulfill their graduation projects.

DuPont's participation in the lectures marks the company's initial involvement in many active contributions towards the project since the signing of the agreement last September.

DuPont's support to the YIA furthers the global company's drive to create sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, and healthier life for people everywhere.

DuPont has been operating in Egypt since 2000 with the opening of its office in Maadi, and the company today has nine active business units in Cairo.

DuPont's presence in the country and its growing local team demonstrate the company's solid involvement in the Egyptian market and its commitment to bringing Egypt up-to-date with the world's most innovative science developments.
