MiyahThon 2 Camp Concludes Successfully With Participation Of 60 Teams In Water Innovation Training

The Saudi Water Innovation Center, linked to the Saudi Water Authority, has wrapped up the in-person segment of "MiyahThon 2." This event followed an intensive training program across Haql, Jubail, and Riyadh. It attracted 60 teams of innovators and entrepreneurs from both within and outside Saudi Arabia. The initiative aims to enhance innovation in the water sector by enabling talents to develop practical solutions for improving efficiency and sustainability.

A series of technical workshops and mentoring sessions were conducted by experts. These sessions focused on advanced desalination technologies, water resources management, artificial intelligence, and innovative operating models. The aim was to increase the readiness of teams and support their transition from concept to implementation. This approach helps in raising the teams’ preparedness for real-world applications.

The second edition of "MiyahThon" acts as a crucial platform for fostering innovation and entrepreneurship in the water sector. It provides an environment that encourages the development of implementable solutions. Additionally, it strengthens partnerships between innovators and supporting entities while advancing business models that can meet future sector needs.

This year's edition further enhances its role by boosting collaborations between innovators and supporting bodies. It creates opportunities to transform pioneering ideas into feasible projects that can shape the future of water management both locally and globally. Such collaborations are vital for addressing future challenges in the water sector.

In the upcoming period, the center will announce which teams have qualified for another in-person camp. This camp will take place during the Innovation Driven Water Sustainability Conference 2025. Organized by the authority, this international platform will showcase cutting-edge technologies and innovative solutions in water management.
