Advancing science, technology, and entrepreneurship!

Our Three Pillars

The activities of the Algerian American Association for Science, Technology, and Entrepreneurship are focused on three areas. These areas constitute the pillars for our interventions.

Science

In the areas of science, we aim to create long-lasting and sustainable partnerships between Algerian and U.S. universities. Such partnerships will help build Algerian universities’ capacities by transferring US best practices in education, research, and management.

We also aim to enhance the training of graduate students and faculty with the delivery of specialized and targeted content. We encourage the mobility of faculty and students from both countries to create a learning and knowledge sharing environment.

Technology

In terms of technology our goal is to address the issue of innovation and the academic-public/private sector relationship to engage the university in the country’s socio-economic development. Through our activities, we hope to promote the involvement of faculty and students in research and education technological advances.

Entrepreneurship

Strengthening the university and the public/private sector linkages through the promotion of entrepreneurship education while assisting Algerian managers, entrepreneurs and institutions with strategic and business planning, financing, marketing, and business development to create a competitive business environment.

Furthermore, and as a cross cutting activity in support of these three pillars our members will develop and deliver courses, workshops, and seminars in emerging in science, technology, management, and entrepreneurship fields and will provide mentoring and advising to Algerian students, educators, and entrepreneurs.

Word From The President

Lakhdar Boukerrou, Ph.D.

Welcome to the Algerian-American Association for Science, Technology, and Entrepreneurship (AAASTE)!

The hardworking people behind this initiative share a bold vision: to advance research excellence, educational innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit in Algeria. Since our founding, we have transformed that vision into action. We have organized online lectures connecting Algerian and American experts, launched collaborative projects, supported student-led innovation initiatives, and facilitated workshops that bring together academia, industry, and entrepreneurs. These programs have already helped build bridges between Algeria and the United States, fostering knowledge-sharing and professional growth across borders.

We are a dynamic association of like-minded individuals committed to building a community where scientists, entrepreneurs, and innovators from both Algeria and the U.S. can collaborate. The time is ripe to expand these efforts, creating more opportunities for partnerships, mentorship, and sustainable economic development in Algeria.

Our world today is more interconnected than ever, and we believe Algeria can play a central role in global education, research, and entrepreneurship. As a non-profit, our vision is “to advance the role of science, technology, and entrepreneurship in Algeria through academic and professional initiatives.” Our promise is to engage colleagues in Algeria and the U.S. in meaningful projects that produce lasting impact.

We warmly invite you to become a member, attend our programs, participate in our workshops, and contribute your expertise. Together, we can strengthen the historical ties between Algeria and the United States while building a brighter, knowledge-driven future.

On behalf of the Board, I look forward to welcoming you to the Association and to working with you to continue this exciting journey.
