Doha, Qatar: After three casting rounds, seven contestants from season 16 of Qatar Foundation’s Stars of Science have advanced to the pivotal ‘Pitch It’ stage.
This unique edutainment TV initiative offers Arab innovators a platform to turn ideas into practical solutions with the support of seasoned mentors.
Contestants will push their scientific knowledge to the limit, competing against time and each other to present their groundbreaking ideas to a discerning panel of judges and ultimately win a share of the Grand Prize.
Each candidate in Stars of Science season 16 presents a unique innovation addressing critical regional and global challenges, showcasing the power of modern research, unprecedented information accessibility, and collaboration.
Prof. Fouad Mrad, a long-standing Stars of Science jury member, explains: “Today’s innovators are exposed to a plethora of knowledge from around the world, shaping their perspectives and solutions.” However, he also emphasises the importance of developing solutions that cater to the specific needs of the Arab world rather than solely adopting global trends, especially in AI innovation driven by local language and data models.
