Professor Dr. Bandar bin Abdulmohsen Al-Knawy will join other leaders from health, investment, and scientific research sectors.

KAIMRC will deliver high-level presentations during corporate sessions. Topics will include advancing biotechnology innovation through health sciences and research, the Saudi Biobank's role in Saudi Vision 2030, and the National Biotechnology Strategy’s vision for the sector.

The Ministry of Health will officially participate by launching an accelerator program for biotechnology startups. Additionally, it plans to organize a high-level reception to bring together investors, experts, and industry leaders worldwide. This event aims to foster dialogue and explore collaboration opportunities with Saudi Arabia.

This participation underscores Saudi Arabia's commitment to creating an integrated environment for research and development. It is supported by advanced digital infrastructure, a flexible regulatory framework, and partnerships at both national and international levels.
