The University aims to provide modern academic programs and establish centers of excellence for basic and applied research that serve the local and regional community through building partnerships with major Japanese academic and research institutions as well as helping industrial companies to conduct applied research and learn about Japanese technologies.

The university is preparing to open its Main Campus on an area of ​​200 acres in the New Borg El-Arab City. The design of the campus was created to keep pace with the latest global technology available to become an environmentally friendly smart campus.

The percentage of buildings is 17% of the total area and the design relied on providing an infrastructure at an advanced technical level. The Egyptian government bears the cost of its full construction, while the Japanese side, represented by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), provides all technical and laboratory preparations and equipment. Hence, representing an ideal partnership between the two countries in the field of education and scientific research.
