The R&D Pledge Program, as part of Sustainability Innovation Week (SIW), invites companies to directly fund research that addresses critical challenges in environment, water, and agriculture.
Launched by RDIA and MEWA, it provides companies with a unique opportunity to align their R&D plans with national sustainability goals, as well as the global objectives of COP16 in Riyadh.
By participating in the R&D Pledge Program, companies gain:
Gain ministerial recognition during SIW’s opening ceremonies, celebrating your leadership in sustainability.
Unlock co-investment opportunities through government R&D initiatives and private-sector partnerships.
Experiment and innovate by deploying your solutions with regulatory support and sandboxing opportunities.
The R&D Pledge Program empowers companies to take full control of their investment by aligning funds with their priorities and vision.
Whether you choose to invest in your internal R&D projects, collaborate with top research institutions, or contribute to a larger research initiative, the decision is entirely YOURS.
Decide what areas to prioritize—be it cutting-edge technologies in the environment, innovative water management solutions, or agriculture projects. Your pledge is a direct investment in solutions that matter to YOU.
Choose Your Focus Areas: Prioritize key areas such as cutting-edge environmental technologies, innovative water management solutions, or agriculture advancements that align with your sustainability goals.
Submit Your R&D Plan and Budget: Provide a comprehensive submission outlining your R&D budget until 2030, specifying where your funds will be allocated—whether to internal projects, external research institutions, or broader research initiatives.
Gain Recognition and Support: Your R&D commitment will be recognized during Sustainability Innovation Week, with further opportunities for collaboration and co-investment with government entities.
Open to companies of all sizes committed to sustainability in environment, water, or agriculture.
Pledged funds should align with projects running until 2030.
Make your R&D pledge today to secure a future of sustainable innovation. Help drive transformative solutions in environmental, water, and agriculture sustainability.
