Event Structure
Three connected experiences. One shared mission.
The website structure mirrors the event itself: a large showcase, a focused competition, and a conference that gives context to the work on display.
01
Exhibition
Booth-based project showcase
Students and industry exhibitors present engineering projects, technologies, and applied solutions in a clear, visitor-friendly exhibition environment.
02
Competition
Cross-discipline engineering challenge
Projects are evaluated across focused categories that celebrate innovation, technical quality, and relevance to real industrial needs.
03
Conference
Scientific and industry perspectives
Speakers from academia and industry share technologies, research insights, and real-world engineering experience.
Exhibition
A booth-led showcase for projects, prototypes, and technologies.
The exhibition is the public-facing heart of the event. Visitors, companies, and institutional partners move through project and technology booths to discover promising ideas, interact directly with exhibitors, and identify future collaborations.
Exhibitors include
- Student engineering projects
- Industry technologies and innovations
- Applied prototypes and technical demonstrations
Visitors and industry professionals can explore booths, interact with exhibitors, and discover new ideas and solutions.
Competition
Four engineering categories designed around real technical domains.
The competition recognizes practical, ambitious, and forward-looking projects across the engineering spectrum.
01
Mechatronics
Mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, robotics, automation systems, and integrated hardware solutions.
02
Construction
Civil engineering, architecture, geomatics, structural design, and related built-environment fields.
03
Software
Software engineering, artificial intelligence, digital systems, and hackathon-style problem solving.
04
Industry
Projects addressing real industrial problems such as production systems, manufacturing automation, and industrial technologies.
Conference
Scientific insight and industry experience in the same program.
The conference complements the exhibition with expert insight. Scientific speakers and industry speakers share trends, technologies, case studies, and field-tested engineering experiences.
01
Scientific talks and technical insight
02
Industry keynote sessions and case studies
03
Conversations on innovation, employability, and sector needs
Participants
Open to ambitious student teams across the Kurdistan Region.
The event is open to university students and high school students across the Kurdistan Region who are ready to present engineering projects connected to their studies, innovations, or real-world challenges.
