Abu Dhabi Technology Development Committee (TDC) is inviting all UAE-based talented individuals from across the science, technology and engineering spectrum to display their home-grown projects at the upcoming Innovator Show in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Innovator Show, to be held at the Corniche - East Plaza on March 5 and 6, aims to promote a do-it-yourself (DIY) culture amongst innovators in the UAE.

Participants can register online at www.innovator.ae and benefit from one of six development funds on offer. The closing date for all entries is February 19.

Majid Al Mail, senior manager and head of the Innovator Programme and Innovator Show, said: “The show is an annual event that showcases and celebrates the local innovators and role models supporting the building of the UAE innovation culture. It offers an opportunity for everyone who has built, created or drafted a project to display their ideas, share best practices with other innovators and learn new techniques. As last year, there will be free-to-attend professional workshops and signature innovators to help inspire and motivate participants and attendees.”

This year, the event returns with a host of programmes including signature innovators, workshops, interactive demonstrations and home-made projects from UAE Innovators. The show also offers an exciting interactive idea exchange and peer-to-peer learning platform that connects creative individuals, institutions, firms and hobbyists.

The Best Project Fund, of which there are five different categories, will be judged by an expert panel and based on various merits and set criteria, whereas “The People’s Choice Fund” will be an open category voted by event attendees and Innovator Show peers. Recipients of each fund will benefit from a one-off monetary endowment of Dh10,000 ($2,722) as well as receive guidance and support from the Innovator Show team on the day. – TradeArabia News Service
