Just as the 20th Century was shaped by fundamental discoveries in science, from the discovery of the structure of DNA that changed medicine forever, to lightweight batteries that sparked the mobile world, so too will revolutionary discoveries in computationally designed materials transform 21st Century societies and how we live on a global scale.
In forming the collaboration with Riyada, CEO of nH2, Justin Hall-tipping emphasised the strategic importance of aligning with Bahrain’s 2030 vision and the wider Gulf Cooperation Council emphasis on building a knowledge-based economy and its leadership role in helping its’ next generation of workers compete on a global stage.
“Being globally competitive requires developing and retaining the right talent, and we believe our partnership with Riyada is critically important to create the right collaborations between scientists, investors and innovators within the GCC that can work with us at the cutting-edge of computational materials design to develop breakthrough solutions to the world’s growing resource scarcities.”
“Our timing could not have been better as we look forward to helping the GCC countries transform its traditional trading economies into one that helps create Intellectual properties that can disrupt multibillion industries around the world as well help solve some of the most basic regional problems for drinking water. We are creating IP’s that can bring disruptive and low-cost manufacturing for multiple industries in the region. Partnering with Riyada opens multiple doorways for us into the GCC as we share similar visions of the importance of knowledge economy development with Her Highness Shaikha Dheya within the region,” Tareque Pirzada CEO for ASIA/MEA from nH2, said.
