With a strong commitment to fostering youth development in science and knowledge and a dedication to empowering Saudi youth to achieve national milestones in the scientific realm, Alinma Bank proudly sponsors the Saudi Science and Engineering Team in their journey to the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair "ISEF 2024." This prestigious event takes place in Los Angeles, USA, from May 10th to 18th.
In terms of sponsorship, Mr. Abdullah Ali AlKhalifa, the CEO of Alinma Bank, affirmed that the bank's collaboration with the King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (Mawhiba) constitutes a pivotal national alliance within the framework of Alinma Bank’s Sustainability and Social Responsibility (AMAD) program. This strategic partnership aims to consolidate and harmonize efforts in nurturing the talents of our nation towards remarkable achievements across diverse fields, thus elevating the Kingdom's prominence on the global stage by showcasing the exceptional capabilities of our youth. The Kingdom's remarkable attainment of 27 special awards at ISEF 2024 stands as a testament to our leadership and excellence. Mr. AlKhalifa emphasized that the bank's involvement in sponsoring this event, which represents the largest global scientific competition for pre-university students, is an extension of its partnership with Mawhiba. Notably, the bank provided monthly financial rewards to participating male and female students in ISEF 2022, aimed at bolstering their scientific aspirations and nurturing them on their journey towards future achievements.
It is worth mentioning that the Saudi Science and Engineering Team comprises a selection of Saudi students from various regions of the Kingdom who participated with scientific projects that passed through judging stages during the National Olympiad for Scientific Creativity. Additionally, they underwent intensive training by a group of Saudi trainers and experts in various specialties to develop their skills and prepare them for participation in the exhibition.
