Three Moroccan researchers from Mohammed VI Polytechnique University (UM6P) won the Arab Labor Organization Prize (OAT) during the 15th edition of the International Inventions Fair in the Middle East “iifme 2025”, organized from 16 to February 19 in Kuwait.
During the award ceremony, the director general of the OAT, Faiz Ali Al Matiri, gave the Moroccan scientific team, made up of researchers Hafid Griguer, Younes Zaarour and Rafiq El Alami, the gold medal of The OAT in the field of technological inventions capable of benefiting the production sector in Arab countries.
The invention of the Moroccan team, which uses innovative T3 technology, aims to “secure documents through digital identity”. It is an advanced system for preserving the authenticity of administrative documents to avoid their falsification, which is based on the integration of digital authentication with physical identity. This technique is based on a patent recorded at the international level and makes it possible to combine a paper document with a digital system in order to guarantee its authenticity and strengthen its safety.
This technology has shown its effectiveness in securing baccalaureate diplomas and notes. She also won the World Summit Awards (WSA) prize in 2024 which rewards the best technological innovations worldwide.
The award ceremony of the International Exhibition of Inventions in the Middle East took place in the presence of several personalities including the representative of the Crown Prince of Kuwait, the Secretary General of the Cooperation Council of the Arab Gulf States (CCG) , the ambassador of Morocco to Kuwait, Ali Benaissa, in addition to government officials and business leaders in the Gulf countries.
The Grand Prix of the exhibition returned to the Mexican inventor Alejandro Miranda Guerra. While the Arab organization prize for agricultural development has been awarded to 7 Kuwaitian inventors, that of the United Nations Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO) to five Chinese inventors, while the Prix of the Kuwaitian scientific club was awarded to two Russian inventors.
