Baku, Azerbaijan, Dec. 10
By Huseyn Valiyev – Trend:
Azerbaijan’s ADA University is quite well developed in terms of applying “smart” and “green” technologies, Trend reports citing rector of the university, Hafiz Pashayev, as saying.
Pashayev made the remarks at the AgTech and Green Energy Forum, being held under the slogan "Innovations for a Green Future" in Baku on Dec. 10.
“Geothermal technologies are used as alternative energy, which allows us to economize,” Pashayev said. “On the other hand, this creates opportunities for improving the skills of our students.”
When creating the campus, he added, the priority was the use of "green" and "smart" technologies.
“We were able, in a certain sense, to achieve positive results in this area,” he said. “Presently, work is underway to build two more university buildings, where these technologies will also be applied.”
The two-day international forum, AgTech and Green Energy Forum, being held under the slogan "Innovations for a Green Future", kicked off in Baku. About 700 people, including diplomatic delegations from 20 countries, experts from 16 countries and founders of 15 startups from Israel, the US, Estonia and other countries attend the event organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Energy.
The forum is designed to help agriculture and energy sectors to develop a roadmap and create an innovative ecosystem in Azerbaijan that will help introduce modern technologies and new energy sources.
