Dubai – To showcase its potential to visitors at Expo 2020 Dubai, Sudan chose to highlight innovative citizens and companies. In the Mobility District, the pavilion of the Arab country at the world exhibition is divided into five galleries, including one focused on youth innovation. The space brings products and solutions from the public and private sectors, educational institutions, individuals, startups, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The innovations follow the Expo’s sub-themes: opportunity, mobility, and sustainability.
One of the stories highlighted in the exhibition was Rawia Abed Awed Ali, a biomedical engineer. The researcher developed a method to screen for diabetic retinopathy based on telemedicine. Diabetic retinopathy is a complication caused by uncontrolled blood glucose in diabetics.
In innovation, Sudanese companies also have spaces. Enigma, a startup working with cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology, is featured in the pavilion. Aqua Gas, a startup, has created a system to separate water into hydrogen and gaseous oxygen for hydrogen therapy.
Agriculture and gum arabic
Another noteworthy gallery is dedicated to agriculture, livestock, and gum arabic. The country is displaying products such as organic fertilizers in the agriculture sector. One of the products presented was the compound by AFC Organic, a Sudanese brand that supplies for farms and domestic use in ornamental plants.
