Event Content: The IEEE Pioneers is back in its second edition, with a larger organization scale and a huge step up by including more universities, and by concluding more regions in Palestine that due to the political situation, are not easily accessed, such as Gaza Strip. The second version of the competition built a virtual bridge between both the West Bank and Gaza and was able to promote IEEE and its Entrepreneurship Week in universities there for the purpose of gaining more IEEE members and expanding the number of IEEE Student Branches in Palestine and give students an equal opportunity to compete and get a chance to compete internationally.
The competition also concluded different trainings in many interesting topics which enhanced the ability of the contestants to start from forming their ideas into developing them and pitch them in the most creative way.
This year both the IEEE Palestine sub-section and IEEE Palestine Young Professionals had an enormous role in organizing the whole event, along with the IEEE Students Branches in Palestine.
