K.A.CARE Geneva inventions earned three gold medals, one silver medal, and a special award at the 51st International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva on March 15, 2026. The organization participated as part of the energy sector delegation representing Saudi Arabia at the annual event.
The Geneva exhibition is one of the most prominent global platforms for innovation, bringing together researchers, inventors, and research institutions from around the world each year. International specialized judging committees evaluate entries based on criteria including innovation level, scientific value, and practical applicability.
K.A.CARE Geneva Inventions: Award-Winning Technologies
K.A.CARE presented several technologies at the exhibition. One entry featured a water desalination system combining solar thermal energy with forward osmosis technology, designed to improve desalination efficiency and reduce energy consumption and emissions.
The organization also showcased advanced solutions for developing enhanced carbon electrodes for supercapacitors used in energy storage systems. These solutions aim to raise energy storage efficiency and strengthen the resilience of electricity grids that rely on renewable energy.
Battery Storage and Clean Hydrogen Technologies
A battery-based energy storage control system was among the entries displayed. The system targets improved power quality in microgrids. K.A.CARE also presented oxygen transfer reactor technology for ammonia production and co-generation of power.
That technology supports clean hydrogen solutions and their integration with renewable energy, while contributing to the development of low-emission alternatives. These entries collectively reflect K.A.CARE’s focus on advancing the energy sector through applied research.
Presentation on Renewable Energy Research
On the sidelines of the exhibition, K.A.CARE delivered a presentation covering its role in developing renewable energy technologies and supporting innovation in the energy sector. The presentation addressed the organization’s key initiatives and programs in research and development.
The presentation also highlighted K.A.CARE’s partnerships with research and industrial entities at both the local and international levels. These partnerships form a core component of the organization’s strategy for advancing scientific research and technology transfer.
