All the 11 Saudi male and female inventors who participated in this year's 37th Geneva Inventors' Fair won the top prizes.
The fair featured 700 inventors and some 1,000 inventions from 45 countries. Last year, four Saudi males and females won nine awards.

Dr. Intisar Al-Sehebani received the gold medal for her invention Homozygous Chromotid Replicator.
She shared the gold medal with Rada Al-Kholaifi who won for inventing a feet-exercising machine.
Inventions can be entered only once at the Geneva show and must be patented. However, entries are not necessarily tested or screened by national authorities.
Another prize awarded at the fair, the fourth award of King Abdul Aziz and His Companions Institution for Gifted People (Mawhiba), went to Saudi national Mohammad Razali who invented an environment protection system.
Other Saudi inventions that won gold medals were:
