Jeddah to Host Higher Education Forum to Advance Academic Innovation

The city of Jeddah is set to host a major higher education forum, bringing together officials, academics, experts, and decision-makers to discuss the future of higher education and its pivotal role in driving development in Saudi Arabia and the wider region.

The event comes as part of the Kingdom’s ongoing efforts to enhance the quality and outcomes of education, in line with the Vision 2030 objectives that place education at the core of sustainable development and the shift toward a knowledge-based economy.

The forum will feature panel discussions and specialized workshops focusing on academic innovation, curriculum development, scientific research, and the integration of universities with labor market needs, in addition to exploring opportunities for international cooperation with leading educational institutions.

It will also serve as a networking platform for Saudi, regional, and global universities to exchange experiences, share best practices, and build strategic partnerships that enhance educational efficiency and strengthen the Kingdom’s position as a regional hub for higher education and research.
