 LinkedIn launches “My Vision 2030” digital competition to empower Saudi youth and enhance their role in achieving the Kingdom’s Vision 2030

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 17 November 2025: LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, has launched a new initiative targeting Saudi youth through a digital competition titled “My Vision 2030”. The competition aims to celebrate outstanding entries by students and career starters creating content on LinkedIn that best expresses understanding of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

Participants will compete by answering two questions: how they are contributing to Vision 2030 within their respective sectors, and what their personal vision and ambitions are for the year 2030. Submissions may take the form of LinkedIn posts featuring photo carousels, albums, or videos supported by written narratives across three key sectors: aviation, finance and banking, and health and quality of life.

Job and training opportunities with leading Saudi companies

The competition, launched nationwide today, will run for four weeks until 15th December (end of Jumada al-Thani), under the patronage of King Saud University and in partnership with flynas, BSF, and Bupa Arabia.

Competition finalists will be invited to a special recognition event hosted in collaboration with King Saud University in January (Rajab). Winners whose submissions meet the criteria and generate exceptional engagement on the platform will receive a range of prizes, including professional training programs at the offices of partner companies, complimentary LinkedIn Premium memberships, personalized mentorship opportunities with the LinkedIn team, and other exclusive benefits and opportunities.

Commenting on the launch, Ali Matar, Head of LinkedIn for the Middle East and Emerging Markets in Europe and Latin America, said: “The Saudi market is witnessing impressive growth across various sectors under Vision 2030. What has truly stood out to us is how actively young Saudis are engaging with this transformation on LinkedIn, contributing to it, and connecting with the opportunities emerging from it. These opportunities come in many forms: jobs, internships, volunteering, community service, skills development, knowledge exchange, and building professional networks for those entering the workforce.”

Matar added: “We continue to be impressed by the creativity and purpose-driven content that Saudi youth produce. We hope this initiative will deepen their engagement with Vision 2030, enabling them to play an even greater role in accelerating progress and development across key sectors. We look forward to recognizing the most inspiring talents, showcasing their ideas and capabilities, and connecting them with organizations eager to invest in their potential for the long term.”

Professor Dr. Ali Mohammed Masmali, Acting President of King Saud University, expressed the university’s appreciation for its distinguished partnership with LinkedIn, alongside Bupa Arabia, BSF, and flynas. He emphasized that this collaboration reflects the university’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its societal engagement and build strategic partnerships with private sector institutions, supporting the achievement of Saudi Vision 2030 objectives.

He also noted that this competition serves as an inspiring platform to showcase the innovative ideas and initiatives of the university’s students and staff, enabling them to highlight their contributions to the realization of Vision 2030, as well as share their visions and future aspirations across different fields.

Dr. Masmali further stated that this initiative enhances the sense of institutional belonging among the university’s members and broadens their participation in advancing the Kingdom’s aspirations toward a more innovative and prosperous future.

Meanwhile, Abdulmajeed bin Mohammed Alqussaibi, Chief Human Resources Officer of King Saud University, highlighted the university’s pivotal role in empowering Saudi youth and preparing a promising generation capable of competing and leading the future. He added that this initiative provides a motivating platform to discover young talents and enhance their readiness for the labor market, in line with Vision 2030’s objective to develop human capital.
