What our scholars say
“The Innovation Nation program has connected me to other young people in our country who are seeking knowledge, experience and have innovative ideas. Knowledge and information are the best ways to empower the youth of our country and prevent the brain drain.”
— E.H.
“If I need to describe this program in one word it would be 'challenging'. It takes hard work and dedication, but the experience and knowledge you come out with is unmeasurable. Be aware of the opportunity you are given!”
— A.M.
“I loved Innovation Nation. Mentoring was my favourite part — we got the opportunity to talk to true experts in their field. IN reminded me that there is so much power and willingness to learn and make things better in B&H youth.”
— N.Z.
“It's like a perfect simulator for creating your own start-up. Even if you don't win anything, you value the chance of experiencing it all. You feel like a winner anyway because you now know where to improve.”
— E.DŽ.
“It's where I grew the confidence to one day have my own startup, to truly own my hard work and its rewards, to be inspired by others — and most of all, the conscientiousness to help my community.”
— H.V.
“IEEE IN is such a unique experience. It is not at all an easy journey, but it is definitely a worthwhile one. Once you graduate as a Fellow, you will feel the special bond shared between all the fellows.”
— T.H.
