1. Introduction

GreenCon 4.0 marked the fourth edition of a forward-thinking ideathon focused on advancing Tunisia’s transition from sustainability to regeneration through circular-economy innovation—the event aimed to empower participants to develop creative, impactful solutions to address environmental and societal challenges.

2. Event Overview

The ideathon gathered 30 participants, divided into 8 groups, fostering collaboration and interdisciplinary thinking. The event began with an opening session introducing:

  • The IEEE Student Branch and its mission

  • The concept and objectives of GreenCon and its 4th edition

  • The evaluation criteria and competition framework

Participants were then provided with a specification booklet outlining the challenge and expectations.

We had the chance to welcome Ms Nihel Ben Amar, who shared valuable insights about her experience within the UNESCO Ambassador Program as well as the IEEE SIGHT initiatives. Her intervention provided participants with a broader perspective on the impact of technology-driven projects in addressing real-world societal challenges.

3. Jury Panel

The ideathon was evaluated by a distinguished panel of experts:

  • Nihel Ben Amar
