Already backed by popular team chat software Slack, Hopin gives an event coordinator the tools they need to put together an interactive virtual event. The platform even gives you a virtual "backstage" area. The pandemic gave Boufarhat the perfect way to showcase Hopin, and it worked, almost doubling its userbase in only a few weeks.

Marley is a robotic arm that can serve portion-controlled meals or snacks with little or no food waste. DK One is a whole-meal solution that can make and serve portion-controlled meals quickly, also with little to no food waste. Both can be controlled by an app and can be customized with the portion amounts and high meal customization.

She also wanted to help overturn the narrative that refugees are a burden or threat to society prevalent in Europe, where refugees are common.
