Foundation
The GrEEK CAMPUS was a part of American University for 50 years. In 2013, current president of AUC Lisa Anderson signed an agreement with Tahrir Alley Technology Park, a Cairo-based company, who leased the property to run a Technology Park.[5] The concept and vision were crafted by Ahmed El Alfi and Tarek Ali Taha.[6][7][8]
The GrEEK CAMPUS offers technologically advanced office spaces and promotes innovation and entrepreneurship.[9][10]
