His achievements highlight the potential of Emirati talent in promoting environmentally friendly solutions globally.

the "Ship Accident Prevention Project" and the "Hydropower Project." The first project employs artificial intelligence to improve maritime safety by monitoring and analyzing real-time data on sea conditions, ship speed, and weather, preventing potential accidents. This system also supports global sustainability efforts by reducing the environmental impact of maritime accidents, such as oil spills.

The "Hydropower Project" aims to create a hybrid energy system combining solar energy and hydrogen fuel cells, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and contributing to clean energy and climate action goals. The project integrates solar panels, hydrogen fuel cells, and an electrolysis generator to convert solar energy into electricity, promoting sustainable energy use.

Al Loughani's impressive track record includes winning second place in the young inventors' category at the 34th Technology, Innovation, and Invention Exhibition in Malaysia. Digital Dubai will now facilitate a scientific visit for him to Dallas, Texas, where he will participate in the Best Young Inventors Award and the Dr. Robot competition. This opportunity will provide him with mentorship, resources, and support to further develop his innovative ideas and pursue patent registration.

Al Loughani's achievements are a testament to Dubai's commitment to fostering talent and innovation. His dedication to developing solutions for marine safety and sustainability showcases the potential of young Emiratis to contribute to a better future.
