GIDDAM Racing, NAHJ Resala, and House of Culture came together for a powerful event under the theme “From Youth Leadership to Tech: Driving Innovation Together.” The gathering brought youth, entrepreneurs, and innovators under one roof to explore how leadership and technology can shape the future.

Entrepreneurship in Action
The first panel featured Nasser Al-Qahtani, Executive at Resala, alongside Khalid Shah, CEO of Nitx. Their discussion cut through the clichés and unpacked what it really means to be an entrepreneur today—beyond the buzzwords. They spoke candidly about resilience, risk, and the discipline it takes to move ideas from concept to reality.

Youth Leadership in Innovation
The conversation didn’t stop there. A second panel brought together Nasser Al-Qahtani and members of GIDDAM Racing to highlight the role of youth in leading innovation. The discussion made it clear: young leaders aren’t just participants in Saudi’s innovation journey—they’re drivers of it.

Hands-On Technology
Theory met practice in a 3D printing workshop led by GIDDAM’s own engineers. Attendees rolled up their sleeves, experimenting with design and fabrication, and got a firsthand look at how emerging technologies are reshaping industries.

A Collective Step Forward
By bridging entrepreneurship, youth leadership, and hands-on tech, this event embodied the spirit of collaboration that drives real progress. With organizations like GIDDAM Racing, NAHJ Resala, and House of Culture working together, innovation is no longer a distant vision—it’s being built right here, by the next generation.
