Abstract

Technological universities play a major role in promoting economic development by providing students with the technical skills needed to adapt to the changing labor market and responding to the needs of industrial and productive institutions for technological capabilities. In the United States, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is one of the leading institutes that has significantly contributed to the development of the national economy through its research outputs and multiple partnerships with global companies, such as Microsoft and Apple. Similarly, India has many leading technological institutes, the most prominent of which is the Bombay Institute of Technology. This institute encourages research production that supports companies and industrial institutions and has established numerous research partnerships with globally recognized companies such as Suzuki and Maruti. Additionally, it focuses on contemporary technological programs, including artificial intelligence, programming, information and communications technology, medical technology, and space engineering, all of which have effectively contributed to the Indian national economy, The current research adopts a comparative approach and concludes with recommendations for activating the role of technological universities in economic development in Egypt in a manner consistent with the Egyptian cultural context.
