Inaugural Industry–Academia Collaboration on Sustainable Food Systems

At MIE-SPPU Institute of Higher Education, Doha, we are committed to shaping future-ready graduates through meaningful learning experiences that connect the classroom with the real world. On this journey, we proudly inaugurated our Industry–Academia Collaboration with Enbat Holdings, marking the beginning of impactful partnerships that blend knowledge, innovation, and practice.

A Promising Start

The inaugural session introduced our students to a course on Sustainable Food Systems, designed in collaboration with a professor from the University of Pittsburgh, USA. This unique program aims to equip students with a deeper understanding of sustainability, food security, and the interconnected systems that define our future.

Insights from a Global Changemaker

We had the privilege of hosting Mr. Ghanim Al-Sulaiti, a well-known advocate for sustainability and our esteemed guest instructor for the day. Through an inspiring and interactive session, he shared valuable insights on the urgent need for sustainable food practices and the role young leaders can play in driving change. His talk emphasized the importance of conscious choices, innovative solutions, and collaborative efforts in addressing global sustainability challenges.

An Engaging Experience for Students

The session was not just informative, but also highly interactive, encouraging students to ask questions, exchange ideas, and explore fresh perspectives on building a sustainable future. For many, it was an eye-opening opportunity to connect academic concepts with pressing real-world issues.

Looking Ahead

This collaboration represents more than just a course — it is a platform for continuous engagement between academia and industry, fostering dialogue, innovation, and actionable change. As we move forward, we look forward to hosting more such initiatives that empower students to become thought leaders and changemakers in their fields.

At MIE-SPPU, we believe that education is most impactful when it bridges theory and practice, and this collaboration is a shining example of that vision.

Here’s to a future of sustainability, innovation, and meaningful partnerships. 🌱
