This year’s INO focused on addressing global challenges through the application of nanotechnology in renewable energy development. Participants presented solutions to critical issues, including wind, solar, nuclear, tidal, and geothermal energy, as well as hydrogen fuel and bioenergy production. The Iranian team’s innovative project in the field of renewable energy stood out, securing them the top prize.

Iran’s gold-medal-winning team comprised Nima Dehghan and Hamidreza Ghorbani, students from Isfahan University of Technology, supported by their academic advisors. Their exceptional solutions and innovative ideas in renewable energy applications earned them top recognition in the competition.

The gold medal was presented to the Iranian team during the closing ceremony by Malaysia’s Minister of Science, further emphasizing the significance of their achievement on the international stage. This success not only highlights Iran’s scientific capabilities but also strengthens its leadership role in advancing nanotechnology solutions for global challenges.

The event reflects the growing impact of the INO as a platform for fostering international collaboration and innovation. With the next Olympiad set to be held in Taiwan, this year’s achievements set the tone for continued progress in the field of nanotechnology.
