First Stage Ideas Submission

Based on the outcomes of the “Community Challenges” study conducted annually, five main areas are identified and announced through Misk Community Social media platforms.

Innovation Diwan Program Challenges are: Health - economic development - environmental protection - education and training - community participation. So the registration opens for the Saudi youth to present their innovative ideas and solutions to the challenges facing their communities. These ideas get classified, and the outstanding and applicable ones will be selected to join the program to transfer them into an initiative that serves the community.
