✨ Mentee of the Week: Heba Asa’d ✨

This week, we’re celebrating Heba Asa'd, a founder who is using technology with real purpose. 💙

Through her company Smart WTI, Heba is not just building innovative IoT solutions, she is also addressing something deeply urgent in Jordan: water scarcity. 💧 With nearly 45% of water used in commercial spaces going to waste, her work focuses on helping businesses better understand and manage their water usage, turning invisible losses into sustainable impact.

At the heart of it all, Heba is bridging the gap between the physical and digital worlds through smart sensor technology but more importantly, she’s showing how innovation can directly improve everyday life and protect vital resources. 🌱

Her journey is a reminder that technology is most powerful when it’s grounded in real challenges and real impact.

💙 Support Heba’s journey — follow, share, and celebrate women leading change in tech and sustainability!
