Arab Innovation Academy | Top Teams

Grinnovation – Recycling segregated waste into useful and efficient resources.

AquAI – To keep up with the increasing demands of freshwater supply, we have stagnated in cost and performance. The current technology in the industry requires a huge amount of energy as well in the industrial process.

Due to human involvement, delays in response can lead to overstress and reduce the lifetime of process equipment. So, Artificial Intelligence can play a pivotal role in making society’s current desalination infrastructure more cost-effective, energy efficient and ultimately, better equipped to self-adapt and self-optimize to the inevitable variability of process conditions.

VV – (Viridi Vastum) Food is wasted in considerable amounts in the State of Qatar. It’s thrown into the trash, that accumulates and leads to carbon emissions, which are harmful to the environment. So, in order for us to comply with Qatar’s National Vision 2030 of transforming the state into an advanced society capable of achieving sustainable development, we are contributing to a sustainable future by removing organic waste from landfills and returning it to the soil.

Needee  – An app that helps resell used school and non-school books as well as borrow and rent them.

PrintLe – Solving the lack of interaction between clients and service providers in Qatar’s printing sector. So, this results in preventing customers from wasting their time and money with no quality assurance.

StonEF – A lot of industrial waste is dropped in the land and pollutes the groundwater. In contrast, there is a high demand for natural stone, which we might not have any more in the coming years. Therefore, StonEF aims to fix this problem. 

WeCare –  Diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of mental illnesses via a mobile application while protecting their identities.

SPECIAL AWARDS: 

Needee  – It’s an app that helps resell used school and non-school books as well as borrow and rent them. Certainly a great solution for those who can’t afford it.

Play to Learn!  – We create a game to help people study.  So, for example, in economics, you would start with a small village and farms to learn basic economic concepts. Then it would grow into town with more complex tasks. In the end, there will be a simulation.

StonEF – A lot of industrial waste dropped in the land and pollutes the groundwater. On the other hand, there is a high demand for natural stone, which we might not have any more in the coming years. Therefore, StonEF aims to fix this problem.
