Nature of participation:

International Startup competition for mediterranean universities.

Scientific and practical experience:

While international competitions are one of the most prominent platforms for academic and professional development, my participation in the GreenNova project during the Startup Cup competition was a rich and comprehensive experience on both the academic and personal levels.

During my time in Italy, I had the opportunity to interact with an elite group of academics and students from diverse backgrounds and nationalities, which broadened my horizons and enhanced my deep understanding of technical and applied concepts in the field of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things.

Working within a multi-skilled team also helped me develop my leadership skills, handle responsibility, and work under pressure, in addition to enhancing my ability to communicate effectively in international settings.

One of the highlights of this experience was presenting the project to international judging panels in English, which honed my presentation and persuasion skills.

Other activities:

During the trip, I explored many of Italy's beautiful tourist attractions and rich cultural traditions, and visited several neighboring cities, giving me the opportunity to experience diverse civilizations and cultures from around the world. I also participated in social and cultural events organized by the host organizations, which added a unique human and communicative dimension to the experience and contributed to building friendships and professional relationships across borders.
