Taibah University is launching a special edition of its university invention challenge, "Taibah Innovates" (Taibah Tabtakir). The initiative focuses on patents originating from Saudi universities and research centers, aiming to prepare them for practical application and technology transfer in alignment with national priorities for research, development, and innovation.
The challenge engages Saudi universities, research and industrial centers, companies, and the broader community through specialized tracks. These include qualification, training, and licensing; direct marketing to corporations and investors; access to business incubators and accelerators; as well as production grants and financial prizes—all designed to transform scientific research outcomes into viable, investable products and technologies.
Taibah University has set November 30, 2026, as the final deadline for the submission of applications. The results will be announced during the opening ceremony of the Second Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Saudi Universities, scheduled to take place on December 9, 2026, at Taibah University.
