US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright visited Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), where he was received by Minister of Energy and Chairman of KAUST’s Board of Trustees Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, University President Edward Byrne, and senior officials, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Wednesday.

The delegation was briefed on KAUST’s research and innovation programs, its role in advancing a knowledge-based economy and addressing global challenges through science and technology, and key research projects and emerging technologies across multiple sectors, with particular focus on its contributions to Saudi Arabia’s energy sector and support for relevant national and global goals.

Under its “Accelerating Impact” strategy, KAUST aims to boost its position as a global innovation hub by advancing scientific research, fostering entrepreneurship, and building partnerships — including ongoing collaboration with international bodies such as the US Department of Energy — aimed at achieving sustainable progress in the fields of energy and science at both the national and global levels.

Wright’s visit to KAUST came during a four-day trip to Saudi Arabia aimed at exploring opportunities to deepen bilateral cooperation across various areas of the energy sector.
