Can you imagine the number of inventors, inventions, projects that stayed in the dark because they didn’t find respect nor the right instructions to guide them along the way?
We believe in the abilities and hidden potential of Syrian youth to innovate, which is the key drive for developing the society through new achievements and inventions. With the aim of providing a safe and supportive environment for our innovative youth to develop creative imagination and critical thinking, and to raise the awareness about it, we want to bring the idea of innovation into our society.
As organizers, we believe that if creative minds, passionate youth, technical professionals and supportive corporations were well patronized, then this salon will be a great opportunity to empower and help the Syrian community and to enable Syrian youth to positively interact and compete based on their innovative ideas, despite their differences.
