Stargate Hydrogen has signed a MoU with Saudi Arabia’s Research, Development, and Innovation Authority (RDI) to strengthen cooperation in green hydrogen technologies. RDI is a government entity in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia responsible for driving scientific research, technological advancement, and innovation to enhance the country’s competitiveness in emerging industries. The agreement was facilitated by Apex Ventures under RDI’s Global Startups Attraction Programme in partnership with the Ministry of Investment.
As per the agreement, both the companies will collaborate on initiatives to accelerate technology transfer, strengthen the regional hydrogen value chain, and focus on industrial decarbonisation. The partnership focuses on multiple areas. These include setting up Stargate Hydrogen KSA, Stargate Hydrogen’s regional headquarters in Riyadh, localising its proprietary technologies for deployment in the country, and collaborating with Saudi manufacturers to develop local production capacity.
Additionally, it will also partner with Saudi academic institutions like KAUST, to generate intellectual property within the country. To implement the cooperation, a joint steering committee will be formed to oversee progress, supported by dedicated operational teams from both sides. Regular workshops and stakeholder interactions will be conducted to ensure coordination across government, industry, and academia.
