ِAs part of joint efforts to support innovation and develop digital skills, Numou Education Center and Saudi Aramco signed a cooperation agreement to establish the “Innovation Oasis” Program, during the second edition of the Human Capability Initiative Conference held in Riyadh.
The program aims to empower more than 60,000 beneficiaries by 2027 through the delivery of interactive workshops and educational experiences within an advanced learning environment that fosters creative thinking and develops future-ready skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The first phase of the program will launch in Al Khobar, with plans to expand to various regions across the Kingdom over the next three years.
The agreement was signed on behalf of Numou Education Center by Dr. Sally Al-Turki, President of the Center, while Ms. Hadeel Al-Essa, Director of Citizenship at Saudi Aramco, represented the company.
In this context, Dr. Sally Al-Turki emphasized Numou’s commitment to providing innovative educational environments that empower Saudi youth, stating:
“Through our partnership with Saudi Aramco, we reaffirm our commitment to delivering educational experiences aligned with the Kingdom’s aspirations and supporting its youth in scientific and technological fields. The ‘Innovation Oasis’ Program represents a launchpad toward achieving the goals of Vision 2030 by building promising national capabilities.”
Mr. Ashraf Hamad, CEO of Numou Education Center, explained that this collaboration represents a strategic step toward preparing a generation equipped with future skills. He noted:
“Preparing the next generation for a rapidly evolving world driven by artificial intelligence and advanced technologies begins today. Through ‘Innovation Oasis,’ we provide high-quality training that engages all segments of society in an inspiring learning journey, contributing to the development of an integrated ecosystem that stimulates minds and strengthens collaboration between the family, school, and community.”
This agreement reflects Numou Education Center’s ongoing commitment to launching impactful initiatives that develop future skills and build an inspiring knowledge-based society—supporting the Kingdom’s ambitions in achieving Saudi Vision 2030.
