Omnicane Award 2025

This year’s theme was –

“As a SIDS, Mauritius faces the unique challenges linked to limited arable land, vulnerability to climate change and food security. How can innovative solutions in quantum science and technology in the field of data analysis, crop improvement and sustainable resource management support our island in enhancing agricultural productivity while promoting sustainability and resilience.”

A theme that speaks to our future.

A meaningful competition that continues to inspire our young people to think critically, research creatively, and develop innovative solutions for a sustainable future.

We must continue to empower our youths to build a smarter, more sustainable, and resilient Mauritius – especially as we celebrate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025.

I thank the Omnicane Foundation and all organisers for their continued commitment to nurturing excellence and strengthening the partnership between education and industry.
