The Information Technology Institute (ITI), in partnership with Alqemam, organized Qtech Hackathon on August 13 at Creativa Innovation Hub in Mansoura. The event, held for the third consecutive year, featured 16 graduation projects from the Professional Training Program.

The hackathon gave trainees a chance to test their ideas against real-world challenges. Participants received direct input from industry experts throughout the competition, including technical assessments of their projects and feedback to help bring their solutions closer to what the market needs.

Projects were judged on technical skill, innovation, overall value, and how well each team used AI to build solutions with real potential in local and international markets. The result was a strong demonstration of the trainees' ability to turn technical knowledge into working solutions for genuine problems.

First place was awarded to CareFlow, an AI-powered platform for outpatient clinics that consolidates patient history and analyzes lab results and imaging, linking the findings to support more informed clinical decisions and enhance both patient experience and quality of care.

Second place went to SmartSpace AI, a smart interior design platform that transforms a photo of a room, along with the user's budget and preferences, into a realistic design composed entirely of real, purchasable products, making the resulting designs more practical and easier to implement.

Third place was secured by Tamrena-AI, a smart fitness platform offering personalized workout and nutrition plans. The platform uses computer vision to monitor exercise performance while preserving user privacy through local data processing.

The hackathon reflects ITI's efforts to keep its training closely aligned with the skills employers are looking for. This year's wide range of projects speaks to the Institute's success in helping young people turn technical knowledge into practical solutions, and reinforces its standing as a leading hub for shaping talent that can compete in local and international job markets.
