Competition
ITC-EGYPT'2026 Competition
Welcome to the sixth International Innovation Competition. The competition in its fifth session includes two main directions, which are the general competition and the challenges, and it is open to students, researchers, and graduates.
The first direction, there is a general competition for those who see in their projects the ability to challenge and implement and the possibility of transforming that innovation into a marketable model as a product or addition in the field of industry and trade. Through three main tracks, which are:
Competition Tracks
The second direction is the direction of challenges through separate competitions. Each challenge has requirements for the contestant to implement as many of those requirements as possible, and the challenges include:
Challenges
Robotics
This track focuses on the design, development, and control of intelligent robotic systems. It emphasizes creating autonomous and adaptive robots capable of performing tasks in industrial, medical, and service environments.
Medical Sector
This track addresses innovations in healthcare technologies, medical devices, and digital health solutions. It focuses on developing tools that improve diagnosis, treatment, and patient care.
Intelligent Software Systems
This track integrates software development, mobile applications, and artificial intelligence into unified solutions. It focuses on creating smart, adaptive, and practical digital systems that address real-world challenges.
Unmanned Ground Vehicle Challenge
Design and implement an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) that can autonomously navigate through a maze or obstacle course and transmit real-time images with a minimum of 1 Mbps and real-time audio to a ground station. The UGV should have a width between 25 and 30 cm and a length between 40 and 50 cm. It must support a maximum communication range of 150 meters and be capable of maneuvering through obstacles, inclines, and slopes of up to 30 degrees.
Key Focus Areas:
Renewable Energy Challenge
Design and implement innovative systems that harness renewable energy sources to provide sustainable and reliable power solutions. The project should demonstrate efficiency, scalability, and environmental impact reduction.
Key Focus Areas:
