ICIA 2026: Titanium & Grand Awardees Leading the Future of Innovation 🏆

The ICIA 2026 Global Round in Cambodia not only celebrated outstanding innovations but also reinforced a broader vision for modern education—one that integrates STEAM, Artificial Intelligence (AI), innovation, and entrepreneurship as interconnected pillars of learning.

In alignment with global movements such as the United Nations’ World Creativity and Innovation Day, ICIA continues to serve as a platform that brings together finalists from 33 national selections across 27 countries, showcasing ideas that aim to create meaningful impact for society.

🌍 A Shared Vision for Modern Education

Through the collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS) Cambodia, ICIA 2026 highlighted the importance of preparing learners not only to understand technology, but to actively shape it.

The event emphasized that education today extends beyond traditional disciplines. STEAM and AI are no longer niche areas—they are now integral to how students learn, think, and solve problems in a rapidly evolving world.

💡 From Curiosity to Innovation

A key message reflected throughout ICIA 2026 is the importance of cultivating:

• Curiosity to explore new ideas

• Resilience to navigate challenges

• Perseverance to turn concepts into real-world solutions

Participants were encouraged to move beyond being passive users of technology, and instead become creators, innovators, and problem-solvers. In this process, innovation and entrepreneurship naturally emerge as essential extensions of learning.
