The training camp covered several important topics, such as governance, transformational leadership, and shaping the future, presented by many experts and specialized trainers. The camp also included field visits to many government institutions and companies, universities, training institutions, and industrial and advanced technology complexes, in order to learn about innovative projects that address local and global challenges in different fields.
