Since its establishment, Sumgayit State University has played an important role in the development of the city. It was of great importance both in the formation of personnel potential and in the socio-cultural and economic development of the city. The role of universities is important in the development of every city. Universities have a direct or indirect positive impact on the country and city where they are located. One of the main directions here is the economy. The presence of the university in the city has its effect on providing employment, revitalizing the economic structures of the city , diversifying city functions, creating new business areas, and revitalizing the housing market. In this regard, Sumgait State University played an important role in the development of Sumgait. Sumgayit State University which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year has trained thousands of specialists in various fields during the past period and has an important support for meeting the demand for personnel of our economy. In modern times, the demand of the economy for human resources is constantly increasing, and universities have an exceptional role in meeting this demand. The potential of Sumgayit State University in this field is quite large. I congratulate the entire team of the university, lecturers, employees and students in the preparation of human resources, on the occasion of the anniversary, and I wish them new achievements in their activities for our country.
