They achieve this through research publications, CEO Roundtables, webinars and podcasts that exchange expertise and explore practical solutions to shared challenges.\n\nDr. Saud bin Abdullah Al-Attiyah expressed gratitude for QatarEnergy's continued support, stating, \"We greatly value QatarEnergy's continued membership and support for the Foundation. Its experience and perspective enrich our discussions and strengthen our ability to connect research with the priorities facing the energy industry.\"\n\nThis extension holds special significance as it carries forward the legacy of Dr. Al-Attiyah's father, who was a firm believer in dialogue, cooperation and knowledge sharing.
