Moroccan Students Reach Global Tech4Good Finals in China
Rabat – Huawei Morocco, in partnership with the Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research, and Innovation, announced the participation of a Moroccan student team in the global finals of the Tech4Good competition. The event took place in China last month.
The Moroccan team began their journey in Essaouira through the Seeds for the Future program. There, they successfully qualified for the Tech4Good finals after competing in a regional round organized by Huawei Northern Africa.
The competition brought together 160 young participants from 17 countries. Among them, 18 Moroccan students stood out, and six were selected to represent Morocco at the world finals.
The students came from universities and institutions across the country, including Al Akhawayn University, Moulay Ismail University in Meknes, Ibn Tofail University in Kenitra, and Suptech Santé.
Their project, called Smart Aquaponics, impressed the judges with its smart farming solution that uses IoT and cloud computing to manage water and nutrients more efficiently, according to a statement from Huawei Morocco.
The project aims to offer a local and practical solution to a major global challenge, as water scarcity becomes a growing global issue. It combines technology and environmental awareness to promote sustainable agriculture.
The team had a unique experience in China, as they visited major tech companies, including Huawei's headquarters, attended advanced training sessions, and received international mentorship. These opportunities helped them improve their project before presenting it to a global jury during the final.
Jason Chen, Vice President of Huawei Morocco, praised the team's performance, saying their qualification for the Tech4Good global finals shows the power of innovation and youth in Morocco.
'Through initiatives like Seeds for the Future, Huawei continues to support projects that address global challenges while empowering Moroccan youth to position themselves as leaders in digital transformation,' Chen added.
He concluded that the company is 'proud' to support them in this journey, 'which is both a boost for their talents and an investment in a smarter and more connected future.'
