Following the success of the Aussie Expo, the Australian Saudi Business Council and Forum (ASBC/F) proudly acknowledges the landmark partnership between UniVerse—a decentralised academic platform—and Trademark Group of Companies. This strategic collaboration secures a USD 50 million investment into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, marking a major milestone in bilateral educational and innovation ties.
The partnership will establish state-of-the-art research laboratories and educational facilities, aimed at advancing scientific research, facilitating international knowledge exchange, and positioning Saudi Arabia as a global leader in academic excellence.
The official signing ceremony was held at the Saudi Commercial Attaché Office in Sydney and attended by distinguished guests, including:
His Excellency Mr Meshare Ben Naheet, Consul General of Saudi Arabia to Australia
Mr Atif AlOthri, Commercial Attaché of Saudi Arabia to Australia
Mr Sam Jamsheedi, Chairman of Trademark Group and President of ASBC/F
Hon. Joel Fitzgibbon GAICD, Ambassador of the Australian Saudi Business Forum
This visionary initiative aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 by investing in a knowledge-driven economy and empowering the next generation of learners and researchers. The ASBC/F commends this commitment to cross-border academic progress and looks forward to the global impact this partnership will create.
