25 November, 2018

Ph.D student Clara Modenesi represented EGEL’s first Start Up, Vythos at the Global Grad Show held in Dubai’s Design District between 13 and 17 November. 150 exhibitors from 45 countries attended the international show- case of university design, innovation and technology with Vythos the only Start Up from Saudi Arabia.

 

Vythos was distinguished from many other exhibitors by the fact that “the design is operative and more than just a concept,” says Clara who demonstrated the technology in action using videos obtained from deployments in the Red Sea and footage from the latest field trip in the Atlantic Ocean. The general audience was “really impressed” with the smart design and minimal environmental impacts of the technology.

The well attended event provided both KAUST and Vythos with international exposure and attracted press attention from Saudi Arabia and the region.
