In a rapidly evolving world where knowledge and innovation drive economies, scientific research and innovation play a vital role in addressing today’s challenges and creating tomorrow’s opportunities. A clear and compelling example of this is Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which explicitly positions research and innovation as fundamental pillars of the vision.

Our commitment to research excellence is reflected in our world-class facilities, dedicated faculty members, and a wide range of systems and programs that strongly support the region’s industries. At the Agency for Research and Industrial Development, we promote a culture of interdisciplinary collaboration that transcends traditional academic boundaries by fostering cooperation between colleges and institutes of various disciplines, as well as with external institutions. This enables us to address complex challenges with comprehensive solutions. It is this spirit that drives us to excel and innovate.

The National Transformation Program, under the ambitious Vision 2030, aims to diversify the Kingdom’s economy and build a knowledge-based society. We, at the General Administration of Education in Jubail—represented by the Agency for Research and Industrial Development—are proud to contribute to this vision by focusing on key research priorities, including renewable energy and energy efficiency.

In conclusion, I invite you to join us on this exciting journey of discovery, learning, and innovation—to contribute to societal advancement and elevate the academic excellence that defines us.
