Kingdom signs deal to use Saudi technology in tree planting in Brazil
Saudi Arabia:
The Kingdom and Brazil have signed a
partnership agreement to use smart Saudi digital technology in tree planting in
the Brazilian city of Jatai, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Tuesday.
The deal is sponsored by the Kingdom’s Ministry of
Environment, Water and Agriculture and the Brazilian government.
It was agreed during MEWA’s participation in the
G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance Summit in the Brazilian city of Goiania
earlier this month, hosted by the National Federation of Young Entrepreneurs in
Brazil.
The agreement is a turning point in international
cooperation on preserving the environment, achieving sustainable development,
and developing entrepreneurship, the SPA said.
It will contribute to stimulating the exchange of
knowledge and technology and the transfer of expertise between the Kingdom and
Brazil, enhancing their joint capability in reducing carbon emissions while
strengthening strategic partnerships to develop and implement joint projects
that promote sustainable development, in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
The ministry’s participation at the summit was
represented by a number of entrepreneurship programs in the sector, and
affiliated emerging companies.
Ali bin Mohammed Al-Sabhan, the director general
of the General Department of Entrepreneurship at the ministry’s Research and
Innovation Agency, said that such international participation was an example of
MEWA’s efforts to support and empower entrepreneurs and emerging companies in
its sectors.
It aims to continue working with member states to
discuss ways of joint cooperation and exchange of expertise and knowledge, to
enhance the development of the entrepreneurship system in the ministry’s sectors
in particular, and the Kingdom in general, he added.
