Now in its seventh edition, Future Generation is the ultimate engineering competition for students currently enrolled in a university course. It an opportunity for undergraduate and postgraduate students to display and present their innovative projects and talents to the visitors of Middle East Energy, formerly known as Middle East Electricity.
Students from all disciplines are invited to enter, provided the above theme is being addressed. As a guide, projects can cover (but are not limited to) the following areas:
Energy & Digitalisation
Digitalization is changing our world and the energy sector is transforming rapidly - from, building engineers empowered to take a more targeted, data driven approach, to automation improving productivity, measurement and efficiency - the applications are endless. Can you deliver the next big digital idea to transform the sector?
Energy & Mobility
From autonomous vehicles, electric powertrains, vehicle sharing and other advances, urban cities mobility is expected to look very different in the upcoming decades bringing cleaner air and making commuting journeys easier for millions. If you can see a faster, cleaner and better way to get people moving, this is the category for you!
Energy & Sustainability
As cities swell, pressure on vital resources like water and energy will become ever greater. The pressure is on to deliver sustainable energy sources that are cost efficient and able to sustain the needs of current and future generations. Can you help accelerate the transition towards a greener future?

“This was by far the best student competition I have participated in (having already participated in a few), because unlike the other competitions (where usually the audience are people from academia) a large portion of the audience were people from the industry.”
