UAE inventor wins 4 medals at Geneva Exhibition of Inventions

Geneva - UAE inventor Ahmed Majan won four medals for his latest inventions at the 43rd International Exhibition of Inventions, which concluded yesterday in Geneva. The fair is recognized as the world's most important market place for exhibitors from 45 different countries.

Majan said he presented five inventions, three of them new, in the competition from around 1,000 inventors and producers from across the world.

Two of his innovative creations, the smart saddle - which was displayed for the first time - and a GPS for tracking a solar-powered bicycle scooped gold medals. He also won two silver medals for his remote control device of fishing nets and a smart duck trap. Majan won the highest number of accolades that an individual could harvest.

The Emirati inventor dedicated the landmark achievements to President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and other UAE leaders.

''Support and encouragement by the visionary and thought leader, HH Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid, often leads to achieving the top position and provides the key to excellence,'' Majan said, adding that his participation at the exhibition was aimed at proving the UAE's merit at the top rank and raising the country's flag aloft at this international invention forum.

He also praised HH Shaikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, for his continued encouragement and unwavering support for his career towards innovation and invention.

The UAE Permanent Representative to the UN and other International Organisations in Geneva, Obaid Salem Al Zaabi, said Majan's participation at the Geneva exhibition of inventions reflected the bright image that the citizen has achieved in areas of innovation and invention.

The UAE, he added, always encourages innovations that serve the humanity.

Majan has also received special citation from the Chinese Innovation and Invention Society for having invented the smart saddle. Spanish inventors honoured Majan during their visit to the UAE pavilion at the exhibition.
