The forum aims to develop solutions for aquaculture and promote sustainable practices in the kingdom, supporting Saudi Arabia's ambition to become a global leader in aquaculture.

The event has resulted in two memoranda of understanding (MoU) signed between KAUST and Arabian Agricultural Services Co. and United Feed Manufacturing Company, which aim to develop and manufacture aquaculture feed and explore research on livestock, poultry, and fisheries, respectively.

KAUST and MEWA are committed to developing long-term solutions to the kingdom's sustainable food needs through aquaculture and algal development.
