"We will be exploring how creative entrepreneurs can utilize various technologies and digital tools for creating unique and engaging content. <...> Today you have all witnessed how activism and innovation can change the world for the better.

"When I was in Dubai doing market research, I found a typical problem: labor is getting more and more expensive - warehouses are moving towards automation. We face three problems: bloated prices, unfriendly user interface and the need to hire a third-party program to integrate these solutions. We have developed <...> an automated task system <...> for pallet handling that can handle 1200 kg per pallet. <...> We can handle all types of existing pallets, it is an affordable solution that also offers seamless integration. We plan to deploy 300 systems within five years’ time," said Mahmoud Sabra, who presented a project for automating order fulfillment at the Derivative company's modern warehouses.
"We use food waste to cultivate a special type of mold. The biopolymer chitosan from this mold has high antimicrobial properties <...> - we can transform these substances into plant solutions, which extend the shelf life of products - for example, tomatoes. <...> We are reducing food waste significantly, eliminating the need for plastic packaging," Senat Tylym said about her Biopols project for new food storage technologies.
The experts highly appreciated the participants’ ideas and ways of their implementation.
