The global academic programme is dedicated to fostering innovation in energy optimization by challenging student teams to design, build, and test ultra-energy-efficient vehicles, empowering the next generation of energy leaders. Since 2013, Egyptian universities participate in SEM, with hundreds of students benefitting from the programme's extensive learning journey. Egyptian teams have previously earned accolades such as the Innovation Award, Safety Award, and Communication Award, demonstrating exceptional creativity and engineering prowess.
For the first time, the Asia-Pacific and Middle East competition will be hosted in the Middle East, bringing together brilliant engineering minds to Qatar's Lusail International Circuit. The event promises an intense and inspiring week of innovation as teams strive to push the boundaries of energy efficiency.

Reflecting on their experiences, past participants Menna & Zeyad from Cairo University and Helwan University emphasized the life-changing impact of SEM. They said 'This competition pushes us to innovate beyond limits and prepares us for real-world challenges in energy and sustainability,'
Shell Egypt's ongoing support for SEM aligns with its broader social investment initiatives aimed at preparing future leaders to address global energy challenges responsibly: in 2024, Shell Egypt dedicated 5 NXplorers workshops to support the capacity building of the SEM teams.
As one of the world's leading student engineering competitions, Shell Eco-marathon has inspired innovation and collaboration for 40 years. The programme empowers students to develop not only technical expertise but also essential skills such as teamwork, leadership, and communication, all vital for driving impactful change in the energy sector.

Hundreds of Volunteers at the Abu El-Enein Foundation Participate in 11th Convoy to Gaza
Rana Atef As part of Egypt's ongoing humanitarian support to the Palestinian people, the Abu El-Enein Foundation for Social and Cultural Work continues its intensive work to launch the 11th relief convoy to Gaza. This effort falls under the alliance of the National Alliance for Civil and Developmental Work, with the participation of hundreds of volunteers who work hard. The foundation's warehouses are witnessing evolved activity, as volunteers work to pack, wrap, and sort the aid supplies according to a carefully planned system that ensures urgent humanitarian needs are delivered to those who need them most inside Gaza. The convoy includes trucks loaded with dry food packages and essential relief materials intended to meet the needs of Palestinian families affected by ongoing aggression and blockade. The foundation emphasized that this convoy is a continuation of its active participation in relief efforts since the beginning of the crisis, reaffirming its national and humanitarian commitment and its dedication to being at the forefront of Egyptian civil society efforts in supporting the Palestinian people.

Apple Ships 3 Bln iPhones
Rana Atef Apple announced that it has shipped its three billionth iPhone. Tim Cook announced the news during a call for the company's third-quarter earnings. The company released the first iPhone in 2007 and sold its billionth iPhone in 2016. So, the audience can guess that the company has shipped its two billionth sometime in 2021, and now, only four years later, it has reached the new milestone. Apple's CEO said the iPhone enjoyed a double-digit growth in the third quarter and that the company earned $94 billion in revenue, up 10 percent year over year. Apple expert Mark Gurman suggested that iPhone sales over the past quarter were driven by people who bought one out of fear that the device would be out of their reach in the future due to Trump's tariffs.
