Guillem is the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics Programme Officer at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations specialized agency for ICTs. His mission is to connect AI and robotics innovators with problem owners to collectively advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

With over a decade of experience in robotics, Guillem has participated in major international robotics tournaments across Asia, Europe, and North America. At just 15 years old, he co-founded ROBOCAT, an educational robotics competition that promotes learning in robotics and coding among youths from diverse backgrounds, irrespective of their gender, socio-economic status, or academic ability. He led it for over 8 years, nurturing it from a grassroots project into a leading open-source robotics championship that engages thousands of young students annually.

Before joining ITU at the age of 23, he served as the EU Policy Assistant at the Delegation of the Government of Catalonia to the European Union, and as the International Relations Assistant at the Delegation of the Government of Catalonia to Switzerland. He also worked as a legal trainee at Montesinos Abogados.

Guillem is a European Commission Expert Evaluator and Reviewer, a Global Shaper, a Sigma Squared Society Fellow, and a Nova member. He has been an Ambassador for EU Careers (European Personnel Selection Office), EUTOPIA European University, POLITICO’s EU Studies and Career Fair (POLITICO Europe), and UNICAT (Ministry of Research and Universities) and a member of the 1st EUSALP Youth Council. He has also been a DIPLOCAT Scholar.

On the academic front, Guillem holds a double bachelor’s degree in Law and Business Management and Administration from Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona. He also participated in the one-year Swiss-European Mobility Program in Law at the University of Geneva, where he earned the Certificate in Transnational Law. He also completed a master’s degree in International Law from the Graduate Institute for International and Development Studies (IHEID), Geneva, and the 59th Graduate Study Program at the United Nations Office in Geneva.

He has been a speaker at leading global tech, AI and robotics events, such AI and Big Data Congress Barcelona, AI Expo Africa, AI House Davos, European Robotics Forum, EmpoderaLIVE, Geneva IP and Digital Law Career Forum, Smart City Expo World Congress, WSIS, Swiss Robotics Day, iREX, and Youth Mobile Festival.

I am a passionate and driven social innovator who believes in the power of collective action to create positive change. I co-founded Nyansapo AI, a social enterprise that uses Artificial Intelligence to assess and improve the literacy and numeracy skills of primary school children in underserved communities in Africa.
My work is inspired by my African roots and values, especially the concept of Ubuntu, which means “I am because we are”. Through my interactions with diverse people and communities, I have learned to appreciate the interconnectedness of our lives and the importance of empathy and solidarity. I am always eager to learn new things, connect with like-minded individuals, and explore new opportunities for collaboration and innovation.

My name is Emmanuel Maror Chol Ring. I am 18 years old. I am a member of the South Sudan Robotics Club. I finished my secondary level last year at Don Bosco secondary school and am waiting to join the university to study computer science and engineering, learning, and artificial intelligence. I joined STEM activities in 2021 up to 2023 where I participated in the international robotics competition in Singapore. I used STEM programs to inspire other youth to become part of STEM ambassadors in our country in the field of Science, innovation, and technology. In my achievements; I represented my country globally, won the national science fair, and also became the third position in the program for connecting South Sudan organized by the National Communication Authority (NCA). I learned how to assemble, design, build, and program a robot that works in the agricultural field. My goal is to eradicate hunger in South Sudan through the use of stem knowledge, building a robot that sprays insecticide, removing weeds, and carrying farm products to the market as they are some of the factors affecting agriculture in South Sudan. I trust my abilities and capabilities to achieve my objectives in life because I have taken a step towards it by assembling a prototype that works efficiently and in the future the knowledge will be applied. I always take the initiative of trusting and having hope towards my dreams and goals because without hope there’s no reason to live.
