The Qatar Scientific Club, under the Ministry of Sports and Youth, has launched the second cohort of its Young Inventors Programme 2026, following the success of its inaugural edition. Originally introduced at Web Summit 2026, the programme aims to equip young Qatari innovators with skills in design thinking, engineering, and project execution to tackle real-world challenges.
Programme Director Eng. Hessa Al Najjar highlighted the strong interest shown by young Qatari men and women, with over 25 participants selected through remote technical interviews. The first cohort of 35 participants developed seven prototype projects in various sectors, such as acoustic drone detection, wearable worker safety monitors, and smart orthopedic casts.
The programme continues to support Qatar's goal of building an innovation-driven economy through mentorship, workshops, and access to advanced prototyping facilities.
