The Challenge and Innovation Forum (CIF), was considered a unique event in the region. It included a number of competitions, events, and interactive science programs aimed at motivating and encouraging inventors, from all over the world, to participate in this huge event. Travel and accommodation expenses were covered by the hosting country.

CIF presented a number of projects that reflect the roles of research, development, and innovation in achieving a knowledge-based economy.

The forum also contributed to directing the attention of the international community to learn more about the latest developments in the fields of innovation and modern technologies. In addition, it provided an opportunity to get acquainted with a number of participation and achievements of the youth. The idea of the competition was based on the participation of all innovators who have been accepted, whereby their individual inventions were presented during the dedicated exhibition, which happened during the first two days of the event.
