Advanced Solutions for Urban Monitoring, Communication, and Sustainability

An innovative Tethered Balloon System (TBS) designed for smart cities.+

Achievements

Proud to Announce:
We Took 1st Place at the Hajj Health & Security Hackathon

Out of 128 participating teams, our team emerged 1st place in the track:
“Designing Infrastructure Models that Support Health and Safety for Pilgrims”

Our winning project, SamaLinks: an eye in the sky, is a fully renewable-energy-powered system that monitors waste accumulation and pilgrim crowding, delivering real-time reports to officials to support faster, smarter response during Hajj.

The hackathon was hosted under the distinguished patronage of His Royal Highness the Minister of Interior, which made this achievement all the more meaningful and memorable.
