The First National Forum for Innovators in Palestine

 The Higher Council for Innovation and Excellence in its First National Forum for Innovators in 2015 aimed at shedding the light on Palestinian innovators.

The Forum was planned to gather an elite of Palestinian innovations that demonstrated excellence in the past two years and to convene them in one place and in one event, covering a wide range of scientific and technological fields, including all categories of innovators, whether they are students of secondary schools or students of higher education institutions, teachers, academics or workers in the public or private sectors. This event is believed to contribute to the dissemination and entrenchment of a culture of innovation among the Palestinian people.

The Forum primarily aimed to celebrate and honor the creative Palestinians and illuminated their creativity in the field of science and technology. Considering that many of the competitions, conferences and ceremonies on innovation are organized every year, this Forum was the coronation of all national efforts in this field.

The Forum also aimed to create a state of cooperation and identification between the Higher Council and the national institutions working in the field of innovation. It has entrusted them the responsibility to assess and nominate the participants. From this strategic partnership, the Forum gave these institutions the opportunity to introduce themselves to the public and expose their activities, achievements and the programs they are conducting in innovation. Regarding the private sector and business owners, which are considered a fundamental pillar of the Council’s work through their effective representation in the membership of the Council, the Forum seeks to create a beneficial networking for the innovators. Finally, the Higher Council considers this event as an opportunity to assess the state of innovation in Palestine and study the innovation environment in collaboration with its partners and the development and implementation of recommendations to overcome the potential difficulties or impediments and to stimulate innovators to become a mainstay of the economy and the knowledge society that we aspire to.
