International University of Rabat currently holds 734 invention patents, maintaining its status as one of the most innovative universities in Africa for the sixth consecutive year.
International University of Rabat (UIR) achieved an unprecedented success at the 51st International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva, held from March 11 to 15 at Palexpo.
The university secured four medals for its innovations and claimed the prestigious Chinese Delegation Prize for Invention and Innovation, a first for a Moroccan team.
The fair brought together over 1,000 inventions from 35 countries. Experts from an international jury evaluated the projects in front of industrial partners and global investors.
The recognition of Morocco’s delegation testifies to the creativity and the scientific rigor of its researchers.
Two of the awarded innovations earned gold medals. The first presents a medical device for safely extracting fractured endodontic instruments during dental procedures.
Developed by the university’s engineering and health laboratories, the tool uses a fine internal fiber to recover broken fragments in root canals, reducing procedure time while protecting surrounding tissue.
The second gold medal recognized a spiral wind turbine that adjusts its speed without electronics or external energy.
Designed by a multidisciplinary team, the turbine uses articulated centrifugal flaps that automatically limit rotation during strong winds, improving safety and reliability in renewable energy installations.
A bronze medal honored a smart system for monitoring chronic respiratory diseases. Developed by the university’s artificial intelligence team, the system combines physiological, environmental, and behavioral data collected from connected sensors.
It provides personalized care and early interventions and mainly helps patients manage conditions more effectively.
The fourth distinction, a bronze medal paired with the Chinese Delegation Prize, rewarded an advanced method to produce waterproof and earthquake-resistant construction materials from local recycled resources.
Developed through collaboration between the university’s innovation center and a private partner, the process transforms dredging sludge and other materials into high-performance, sustainable construction solutions for rural infrastructure.
University representatives noted that these awards show their commitment to turning research into practical solutions that respond to health, environmental, and industrial challenges.
