He emphasized the importance of linking scientific research with the industrial sector as a fundamental pillar for enhancing innovation and supporting economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Al-Saadi pointed out that universities possess scientific knowledge and theoretical expertise, while industrial institutions require practical solutions and applications that meet the needs of the modern labor market.
