Our program has got off to a hot start with an industry guest lecture from Ibrahim Sagerer Foric who is the Founder & CEO of BergWind. Ibrahim's presentation was titled "Road to Innovation".

💙During the presentation, Ibrahim shared his experience in starting a business, what led him to innovation, and with his personal story as well as advice, he encouraged the participants to dare to take that path themselves.

💙Prior to launching his own venture, Ibrahim was a global R & D senior expert for Lenzing group.

💙His new company BergWind is determined to find and exploit new spaces for renewable energy. Their patented energy modules, various cable cars can be upgraded to solar and wind farms. Energy modules are designed by BergWind together with European wind turbine manufacturers. These are wind turbines that can be clamped to cable cars/chairs or even garaged in gondolas! Thus, wind turbines can be simply and modularly installed, expanded and maintained on existing infrastructure in windy mountains. Construction of towers and transport by mobile crane or helicopter is not required.

IEEE Innovation Nation is Back!

For every idea that needs a platform to showcase its worth, IEEE Innovation Nation is the competition for it. Disparity between resource distribution has seen entrepreneurs in countries with a low GDP getting less opportunities. Not every country has a Silicon-Valley. Lack of guidance or finances should never be the reason to shut down the entrepreneur inside you. IEEE Innovation Nation is organized to address this by providing you with guidance, mentorship and finances to take your idea or product to the next level.

The IEEE Innovation Nation initiative will be carried out in Bosnia & Herzegovina, Sri Lanka and Malaysia this year. Each country will go through the IEEE Innovation Nation life cycle.
