In early 2025, Sohag University awarded five innovative prototype projects grants of EGP 300,000 each via its Career Development Center and Technology Transfer Office. These funded prototypes ranged from assistive devices for the visually impaired to nutritional supplements aimed at enhancing cognitive function. The awards were part of a broader push to foster applied research, enabling faculty and students to refine prototypes, conduct preliminary testing, and gear toward commercialization—all within university-supported labs.
On May 31, 2025, the Higher Council of Universities approved the creation of Sohag Venture Company (SV Co.)—Egypt’s first university-owned enterprise dedicated to commercializing research outputs. The firm functions as Sohag’s executive arm for marketing scientific consultancy, licensing intellectual property, and partnering with industry for sustainable development. SV Co. was established under Law No. 23/2018 to catalyze the translation of academic insight into commercial goods and services, deepening the university’s role in Egypt’s knowledge-driven economy
In January 2025, Sohag University achieved subject-specific distinction in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings.
