    Despite Lebanon’s youth feeling desperate and unmotivated, this hasn’t stopped them from making their homeland proud in international festivals and more.

    In the third week of Innovation Week IWA 2020, 38 Lebanese were granted awards for their innovations.

    Innovation Week is a major annual event, said to be the biggest inventors’ event, organized by Moroc OFEED in Morocco.

    It provides innovators with a platform to execute their visions and to participate in Moroccan Innovation fairs and exhibitions, thus enhancing Morocco’s international relations.

    International and local creators are participating in the IWA’s online event that started on September 8th and runs for 15 weeks, and where each innovator has the opportunity to showcase his or her creation during Live sessions transmitted by OFEED Web TV. 

    Despite the ongoing hardships the Lebanese have been dealing with, Lebanon was reportedly the country with the most participants in the fair and scoring 38 awards in week 3.

    Winning the grand prize, Imad Agi stunned the jury with his Ecoloo innovation. Also, each of the innovators of the Synthesis of New Poly-Urethane filters won the semi-grand prize and gold medals.
