Innovation for Technology and Space

Innovations in materials technology are driving progress in science, industry and space exploration. Advances in synthesis, characterization, and applications are shaping solutions for energy, sustainability, and next-generation technologies, while novel 2D materials open new possibilities for multifunctional uses such as radiation shielding, energy storage, and water purification. These breakthroughs are not only vital on Earth but also central to sustaining long-term space missions and enabling new discoveries.

This forum provides an opportunity to celebrate 100 years of quantum science and technology with a high-level panel of international scientists exploring key challenges and future directions in materials innovation. It also features expert talks by local and international speakers, whose pioneering research on 2D materials, hydrogen and its isotopes, electrochemical processes in lithium-ion batteries, and room-temperature superconductivity promises transformative advances. The session concludes with reflections on priorities for the years ahead.

By combining scientific insights with dialogue across disciplines, the forum enables participants to gain a deeper understanding of emerging trends, identify opportunities for cooperation, and define concrete next steps for joint research on new materials, space technologies, and innovation in material science.


Breakthrough Forums: Get inspired by cutting-edge research driving innovation

Breakthrough Forums provide a structured platform to showcase pioneering research shaped by bold thinking and ambitious questions. Leading scholars from Arab countries and Germany share their latest findings and innovative approaches that advance their fields, generate tangible impact and illustrate the value of collaboration across disciplines. As a catalyst for intellectual exchange, the forums feature formal keynote presentations, dynamic input sessions and moderated discussions to spark new research directions. Participating scholars and students are exposed to novel developments in cutting-edge research and get the chance to meet potential collaborators and mentors with the goal of inspiring future interdisciplinary cooperation.
