Mentors explained what cleantech is, how the Palestine CleanTech Innovation Competition works, and how to encourage the"spark" coming from a new idea and turn it into a successful project. The participants reviewed and discussed their ideas that serve clean energy. With the help of experts and trainers, they were given guidance on developing their ideas and turning them into a business that serves clean energy. They also provided instructions on filling out the application for the Palestine Clean Tech Innovation Competition Second Edition 2022.
