The students' remarkable sketches, capturing the vision as a world-class energy hub, truly impressed us. Congratulations to all participants who left their mark."
Launched in May 2022, this competition was initiated in collaboration with universities in the Eastern Province.

Aligned with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, the competition's aim is to foster a positive impact on local communities while enhancing collaboration between the organization and educational institutions. It also facilitates knowledge exchange and deepens the understanding of the leading industrial ecosystem in the heart of the energy sector.
A vital component of Vision 2030, this organization contributes significant socio-economic value. Leveraging its strategic position, it caters to robust local and regional demand, functioning as a hub for energy-related enterprises and connecting the globe to opportunities within the Saudi energy domain and beyond.
