Competing among 25+ teams from 18 universities worldwide, our team impressed the jury with their innovative project NebtRa.

NebtRa in Brief:
A digital agri-platform that leverages NASA satellite data to provide farmers with intelligent crop recommendations, AI-powered irrigation guidance, and plant-health diagnostics—supporting sustainable agriculture and smarter resource use.

Special appreciation goes to Dr. Rehab Hegab (Desert Research Center) and Dr. Abdelhameed Abdelhady (FAO) for their invaluable mentorship and support.

Warmest congratulations to our students on their inspiring milestone on their path toward graduation in 2027!
