COVID-19 International Innovation Awards III

The Pandemic with No End

Following a brief respite from rising cases in the fall, omicron, the newest and most transmissible Covid-19 variant, is tearing its way across the globe, causing spikes in cases within days. It feels like 2020 all over again as governments implement familiar safety measures. It appears that 2022 will be the third year in a row marked by fear and confusion, positive tests and near misses. The physical and psychological consequences of the Pandemic with No End are set to be devastating, with few aspects of our lives unaffected.

Innovations in the Era of COVID

We are in much better shape now than we were at the beginning of the pandemic. We have learned a lot more about how Covid-19 works. We have developed effective masks, vaccines, boosters, treatments, and rapid tests. In this new normal, there is an abundance of innovations that help with all aspects of our lives.

In 2021, for a 2nd year running, COVID-19 International Awards welcomed 101 innovations and ideas, from Malaysia, Ukraine, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuwait, US, Iran, Turkey, Thailand, India and Saudi Arabia. Participants competed in 17 categories covering the entire spectrum from prevention to tracking, individual to group technologies and ideas, business concept to humanitarian efforts.

MTE 2022: The 3rd COVID-19 International Innovation Awards (a virtual event) is scheduled to return from 20-24 June 2022. The awards were created to recognise and celebrate all COVID-19-related innovations. Participate to gain recognition and publicity for your innovations and ideas.
