Halaa, Do you remember when it all started?

[M093-05] · متحدث آخر: هالة (other speaker — not the Minister) · التوقيت 00:00:10 · SELA إطلاق صلة · 2022-02-27 · مشاهدة عند هذا التوقيت

yes, it was November of 2020.

[M093-06] · متحدث آخر: دانا (other speaker — not the Minister) · التوقيت 00:00:12 · SELA إطلاق صلة · 2022-02-27 · مشاهدة عند هذا التوقيت

Yes, that is when it all began. Hala and I had a meeting with His Royal Highness, the Prince, Abdul-Aziz Bin Salman, the Minister of energy, when he told us about his vision of creating the platform for cultivating the aura of aspiring young energy leaders

[M093-07] · متحدث آخر: هالة (other speaker — not the Minister) · التوقيت 00:00:30 · SELA إطلاق صلة · 2022-02-27 · مشاهدة عند هذا التوقيت

And from what we have seen here today, we can say that Saudi Arabia is indeed the Kingdom of the energy, and one of its greatest resources is its people, and, in specific, the youth.

[M093-08] · متحدث آخر: دانا (other speaker — not the Minister) · التوقيت 00:00:41 · SELA إطلاق صلة · 2022-02-27 · مشاهدة عند هذا التوقيت

As young individuals in the energy field, we identified that aspiring young professionals face challenges that keep them from reaching their full potentials, such as, not having access to mentorship, not finding strong networks with like-minded, and not having specialized training.

Yes, and after the meeting with the ministry, Dana, and I worked on realizing and translating his idea into reality, and after a year of so hard work, we are here today to tell you more about the Saudi energy leaders' assembly, SELA.

[M093-10] · متحدث آخر: دانا (other speaker — not the Minister) · التوقيت 00:01:19 · SELA إطلاق صلة · 2022-02-27 · مشاهدة عند هذا التوقيت

SELA is the platform that aims to connect the energy professionals within the ecosystem while also attracting energy enthusiasts from the other sectors.

[M093-11] · متحدث آخر: هالة (other speaker — not the Minister) · التوقيت 00:01:29 · SELA إطلاق صلة · 2022-02-27 · مشاهدة عند هذا التوقيت

And what if I told you that one of the major objectives of SELA is for the youth to create a strong network that would help them develop and grow into the future leaders.

This is music to my ears, Halaa, what else does SELA aims to do?

[M093-13] · متحدث آخر: هالة (other speaker — not the Minister) · التوقيت 00:01:45 · SELA إطلاق صلة · 2022-02-27 · مشاهدة عند هذا التوقيت

It also aims to increase knowledge sharing within the ecosystem, and ensure alignment.

We will also have online presence, and also, we will have gatherings to expand our members networks.

[M093-15] · متحدث آخر: هالة (other speaker — not the Minister) · التوقيت 00:02:00 · SELA إطلاق صلة · 2022-02-27 · مشاهدة عند هذا التوقيت

Gatherings like the formal gatherings on stages, and all.

[M093-16] · متحدث آخر: دانا (other speaker — not the Minister) · التوقيت 00:02:05 · SELA إطلاق صلة · 2022-02-27 · مشاهدة عند هذا التوقيت

No, Hala, definitely not. What makes us different is that our gatherings will be informal where we get to exchange ideas, and learn from the energy experts and leaders.

[M093-17] · متحدث آخر: هالة (other speaker — not the Minister) · التوقيت 00:02:16 · SELA إطلاق صلة · 2022-02-27 · مشاهدة عند هذا التوقيت

All right, so SELA is just a website and a fun informal gathering with the energy leaders throughout the year.

[M093-18] · متحدث آخر: دانا (other speaker — not the Minister) · التوقيت 00:02:22 · SELA إطلاق صلة · 2022-02-27 · مشاهدة عند هذا التوقيت

Oh no, of course not. There will also be courses, workshops, conferences, and tailored material for those individuals to help them to develop through their professional career, and of course, all of this will be free exclusively for SELA members.

Alright, so, we would like to engage the audience, so, with the raise of your hands: how many are here today because they do not know what the next step after graduation will be or they are here to actually meet experts to expand their network to ease them into the workforce? Come on, I want to see some hands, who is here today? Oh, I see hands there. All right, wow, and over there, great, wonderful.

[M093-20] · متحدث آخر: دانا (other speaker — not the Minister) · التوقيت 00:03:05 · SELA إطلاق صلة · 2022-02-27 · مشاهدة عند هذا التوقيت

OK, we want to see more hands for the next couple of questions: ''How many are here today to gain knowledge and the tools to reinforce them for the future?''.

[M093-21] · متحدث آخر: هالة (other speaker — not the Minister) · التوقيت 00:03:21 · SELA إطلاق صلة · 2022-02-27 · مشاهدة عند هذا التوقيت

Oh, alright, so great. So, how many the energy enthusiasts do we have here today? Come on, I want to see all of those hands out,

[M093-22] · متحدث آخر: دانا (other speaker — not the Minister) · التوقيت 00:03:22 · SELA إطلاق صلة · 2022-02-27 · مشاهدة عند هذا التوقيت

And how many would be interested in having the tools to become a future energy leader, and to gain access to the network of the young energy enthusiasts and leaders within the energy ecosystem?

[M093-23] · متحدث آخر: دانا (other speaker — not the Minister) · التوقيت 00:03:46 · SELA إطلاق صلة · 2022-02-27 · مشاهدة عند هذا التوقيت

أخر سؤال.

[M093-24] · متحدث آخر: هالة (other speaker — not the Minister) · التوقيت 00:03:50 · SELA إطلاق صلة · 2022-02-27 · مشاهدة عند هذا التوقيت

So, tell us, Dana, how can one be a part of this exclusive community?

Well, Hala, if you have raised your hand more than once, meaning you mostly answered, "yes", to our questions, please, and you meet our eligibility criteria. Please, scan the QR code, and apply to be a member of SELA.

So, actually, before the round of applause, we actually wanted to end our session by expressing our deepest, and greatest gratitude to His Royal Highness, Prince, Abdul-Aziz Bin Salman, the Minister. In addition to that, we would also like to extend our thanks to Eng. Ahmed Zahrani, the Assistant Minister, and the Ministry of Energy, Eng. Fahd El-Aglan, and KAPSARC, our advisory committee, the entire SELA team who are with us sitting in the front over there, and the special thanks to Dr. Mohammed El-Shubramy, and our mentor, Ammar Hazzazi, and to everyone who has supported us throughout this journey, because, without you, this would not have turned into reality. Alright, so, we actually want, and we would like you to inaugurate SELA.
