It gathers global figures to discuss the evolving role of the non-profit sector in sustainable development. The initiative focuses on expanding both local and international economic and social benefits.
Key sessions showcase modern strategies for advancing trust, transparency, and responsible innovation in the non-profit landscape. Leaders will examine how digital transformation, including artificial intelligence, can strengthen mission delivery. Topics also highlight the role of donors, investors, and governments in scaling social initiatives effectively. The goal is to shape a sector that delivers measurable societal progress.
The forum emphasizes capacity building through targeted workshops that enhance professional skills within the field. Participants will explore accreditation improvements and the integration of innovative financing to support impact investment. Healthcare research and grassroots action on climate are identified as critical areas for collaboration. These discussions reinforce how the sector can respond to urgent global challenges.
Saudi leadership views this event as a cornerstone for future sector transformation that aligns with national priorities. The program supports Saudi Vision 2030 by encouraging stronger governance, workforce development, and strategic partnerships. Government and non-profit coordination are positioned as essential for sustainable advancement.
