Ms. Rama Chakaki, President of Qatar Science and Technology Park (QSTP), recently visited the Gulf Organisation for Research & Development (GORD) headquarters to explore sustainable technologies pioneered by GORD.

During her visit, Ms. Chakaki held a high-level meeting with GORD’s Founding Chairman, Dr. Yousef Alhorr. The discussion focused on GORD’s vision for a greener future and its role in spearheading innovation and research.

Following the meeting, Dr. Alhorr led Ms. Chakaki on a tour of TechnoHub, GORD’s research facility located within QSTP. The tour provided a first-hand look at the latest R&D innovations, including the Synergia9n1 units. Developed and patented by GORD, Synergia9n1 is an award-winning, ultra-efficient, and multi-modal dedicated outdoor air system. The system is designed to cool and ventilate various spaces, achieving a remarkable 50% reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional cooling systems.

Ms. Chakaki also explored GORD’s 3D Printing Facility, which offers nine different 3D printing technologies and six specialized additive manufacturing (AM) services.

The visit concluded with a meeting with researchers from GORD Institute, which is the cornerstone of GORD’s R&D efforts, developing novel technologies and engaging in multi-disciplinary research projects. The researchers shared insights into their work on eco-materials, energy efficiency, HVAC solutions, renewable energy, and climate change.
