Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: The Ministry of Economy and Planning announced its plans to launch the beta version of its AI-enabled matchmaking partnership network, the SUSTAIN Platform, in 2026.

SUSTAIN is designed to strengthen cross-sector collaboration and accelerate the delivery of sustainable development initiatives, the ministry revealed in an official statement yesterday.

This announcement was made on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting during a NextOn talk at the Saudi House in Davos.

SUSTAIN translates Saudi Arabia’s public- and private-sector coordination mandate into a practical national tool that enables government entities, businesses, investors, academia, and civil society to identify credible partners, form trusted coalitions, and advance initiatives from planning to implementation more efficiently.

It also aims to address a key global challenge, as fragmented partnership opportunities across institutions and sectors often slow delivery and limit impact.

Moreover, SUSTAIN will support the Kingdom in advancing its objectives related to sustainable growth, economic diversification, and long-term development outcomes.
