The Faculty of Engineering of the University of Pharos in Alexandria is looking for a Spanish company to collaborate in an R&D project focused on the material recovery of waste and its transformation into new recycled products. The search is promoted by Dr. Heba Fahmy together with the Egyptian company ROBOTA, specialized in design and manufacture of machinery, automation, electronics and additive manufacturing by pellet feeding. Both entities seek to develop a comprehensive solution that ranges from the treatment of waste to the obtaining of recycled materials.

The university brings knowledge in materials and recycling, while ROBOTA has experience in the development of machinery and additive manufacturing systems. The Egyptian company is currently working on a machine for additive manufacturing with recycled metals and 3D printing systems powered by granules.

The project aims to cover all stages of the recovery process, from the selection and treatment of the waste to the obtaining of a recycled by-product. To do this, it seeks to incorporate a Spanish company with technical knowledge in one of the following areas:

  • Treatment and recycling of industrial waste.
  • Selection and pretreatment of waste streams.
  • Formulation and development of recycled materials.

The type of waste to be used will be agreed among all the consortium members, taking into account their capacities and technical knowledge.

The objective of the proposed proposal is its presentation to the 2026 Spain-Egypt R&D call, called ESIP "Egypt Spain Innovation Programme", within the framework of the Spanish-Egyptian Bilateral Technological Cooperation Program, whose deadline for submission will remain open until December 3, 2026.

Interested entities can consult additional information about this partner search and a summary of the proposal at this link.
