(MENAFN- Orient Planet Group) Ajman, UAE – May 8, 2025 – In a shared effort to elevate
project management capabilities across academia and industry, Ajman University (AU) and
the Project Management Institute (PMI) have signed a strategic Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU). This partnership brings together one of the UAE’s top-ranked
institutions and the world’s leading authority on project management to drive innovation,
professional development, and global best practices across the Middle East and North Africa
region.
The MoU, signed by Dr. Karim Seghir, Chancellor of Ajman University, and Mr. Hanny
Alshazly, Managing Director, Middle East and North Africa, at PMI, outlines a comprehensive
collaboration to strengthen career readiness and institutional excellence in an increasingly
digital and project-driven world.
“As a non-profit educational institution, Ajman University places academic excellence and
lifelong learning at the core of its mission. This step aligns with our vision to establish
strategic partnerships that support our future aspirations. We strongly believe in empowering
our students with up-to-date skills in project management through access to advanced
learning tools and internationally recognized methodologies. These efforts enhance their
readiness for the job market and help instill a culture of efficiency and excellence in a rapidly
evolving digital environment”, said Dr. Karim Seghir.
Through this agreement, PMI will support the launch of a tailored digital platform that will
provide AU students, faculty, and staff with exclusive access to PMI’s robust suite of
professional development resources. These include globally recognized certifications,
experiential learning opportunities, and engagement with an international network of industry
experts.
The collaboration also includes the co-creation of case studies, shared access to academic
and professional tools, and joint participation in regional and international events. These
initiatives are designed to empower both institutions to deliver high-impact educational
experiences and foster agile, workforce-ready talent.
“We are proud to have our first partnership in the Emirate of Ajman with Ajman University, one
of the UAE’s leading institutions, globally recognized for innovation and graduate
employability. This partnership reflects PMI’s continued commitment to nurturing future-ready
talent and bridging the gap between academia and industry. By aligning PMI’s global
standards in project management with Ajman University’s forward-thinking academic
approach, we aim to empower students and professionals to lead meaningful change and
deliver lasting impact across the region,” said Mr. Hanny Alshazly.
This MoU reinforces PMI’s strategic expansion across the MENA region and exemplifies its
efforts to collaborate with academic leaders to close the global project talent gap. It also
strengthens Ajman University’s mission to create a transformative, future-oriented learning
environment rooted in excellence, innovation, and global relevance.
