Innovation in science and technology has bolstered our capabilities – allowing us to reach new places, experience new realities. There really are no limits when it comes to ingenuity and progress. And that’s why we are here today. Many top leaders in industry – energy, aerospace, and more – have responded to the call to join together at the Aramco-hosted Deep Space, Deep Ocean Forum to share their knowledge, experience and ethusiasm to help advance operational excellence. We are pleased with the sizable group of business leaders, scientists, engineers, technologists and other professionals from the private and public sectors who are in our midst today. We are also very proud of the large gathering of students, faculty, and researchers who are participating from a number of top universities. They represent a future generation of sustainability; our world going forward. After months of planning this special mission – with NASA working to help develop the program content – we are now on the launch pad and ready for liftoff. Together, let’s explore what each industry is doing to help solve similar operational challenges. Then let’s go a little deeper and seek opportunities for technology collaboration. The legendary Walt Disney was once quoted as saying, “If you can dream it. You can do it.” There’s no better time than right now to set our sights high and achieve the “impossible.” Enjoy the mission!

Khalil Al-Shafei Manager Engineering & Technology Aramco Services Company To Deep Space, Deep Ocean Forum Participants: It began with a simple conversation about a year ago between Aramco, NASA and others in industry that went something like this: “We all share similar challenges when working in harsh, remote environments – why not develop a platform where we can explore crossover technologies for safety and reliability, and then set the stage for collaboration?” And that’s when the countdown began. The Deep Space, Deep Ocean Forum was on its way to the launch pad. I am delighted that so many across a range of sectors – energy, aerospace, medical, automotive, academic and more – have eagerly responded to this unique opportunity. We have indeed brought together some of the best minds in industry. Keynote speakers in the general sessions will look at the overarching challenges between the industries, and also talk about their own winning strategies on how to build a culture of innovation.
