Samsung Electronics Saudi Arabia launched the “Afkarkom Ma3 Galaxy” platform at an event at King Saud University in Riyadh. The initiative, in line with the directives of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, aims to provide Saudi youth with a platform for dialogue and knowledge exchange.
Several influencers such as Mohammed Al-Mousa and Mofeed Al-Nowaiser, delivered motivational speeches at the launch event, while Muhannad Abu Obeid and Noha Al-Hazza hosted the event. The inauguration explored discussions around the challenges and obstacles faced during their career journey in the digital landscape.
Saudi Arabia’s leadership has placed a strong emphasis on the country’s youth, which accounts for 79 percent of the Kingdom’s population below the age of 45, to drive innovation, with an overall target to create more than 200,000 jobs by 2025 through entrepreneurship.
“This initiative not only reflects Samsung’s prominent efforts in advancing initiatives in the fields of entrepreneurship and innovation, but it also brings together the voices of our youth to launch their ideas that will shape the Kingdom’s future. Through this platform, we offer a place that harnesses the youth’s energies, exchanging ideas and meeting the challenges of tomorrow,” said Y.J. Kim, president of Samsung Electronics Saudi Arabia.
Al-Mousa, who was present at the launch event, said: “I lacked the initiative early on in my career, but I was able to turn my daily video posts into an inspiration for hundreds of thousands of young people in the region. I would like to stress the importance of working the hardest at everything you do in order to succeed.”
Al-Nowaiser said: “I overcame my obstacles and learned the skills needed to develop my business and succeed. The story of Aisha inspired me to keep going on. She is a girl from a remote area near Madinah, who inspired everyone to succeed by her perseverance to learn and graduate with honors from high school and the faculty of arts despite all the mental and societal obstacles that she faced.”
Her next target is to get her master’s and PhD degrees. Her bravery is an inspiration for everyone else.”
