Saudi Gazette, 19 January 2026: Saudi Arabia is to launch the SUSTAIN Platform in 2026 to accelerate AI‑enabled collaboration across government, business and civil society for sustainable‑development initiatives.

The Ministry of Economy and Planning confirmed that the platform will launch in a beta form. It has been designed as an AI‑powered matchmaking network to help entities identify credible partners, build coalitions and move sustainability projects from planning to implementation more efficiently.

The platform aims to address the global challenge of fragmented partnership opportunities, which often delay or weaken impact. SUSTAIN will also operationalise Saudi Arabia’s aim for stronger public‑private coordination and will support national goals on sustainable growth, economic diversification and long‑term development outcomes.
