KSA RDIA endorses HUI, accelerating KSA strategy

Hydrogen Utopia International PLC, a company pioneering non-recyclable plastic waste-to-hydrogen technology, is delighted to announce significant progress in its strategic engagement with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Research, Development and Innovation Authority ("RDIA").

This development follows ongoing cooperation between RDIA and the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Sector at the Ministry, under a national programme designed to localise advanced technologies within the Kingdom's research, development and innovation ecosystem.

Within this strategic context, RDIA considers Hydrogen Utopia International to be a company with activities in research, development and innovation that align with the objectives of KSA's national objectives and framework.

RDIA's assessment reflects the technological relevance of InEnTec's plasma-assisted waste-to-hydrogen technology represented by HUI in the region. InEnTec's highly advanced technology in advancing low-carbon energy, circular economy systems, and innovative industrial solutions makes a meaningful contribution to the Kingdom's long-term circular economy priorities and ambitions.

RDIA is one of Saudi Arabia's most important national institutions, tasked with shaping and advancing the Kingdom's long-term research, development and innovation strategy. It plays a pivotal role in transitioning the Saudi economy toward one driven by knowledge, technology and high-value industrial capability. Through its mandate, RDIA supports the localisation of frontier technologies, the development of intellectual property, the expansion of local content, and the creation of high-tech economic sectors aligned with Vision 2030.

A core element of this mission is RDIA's commitment to elevating the role of startups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as engines of innovation. By integrating global technologies into Saudi Arabia's research and industrial ecosystem, RDIA aims to accelerate economic diversification, strengthen national competitiveness and drive social and economic development across the Kingdom.

This recognition marks a significant step in the company's efforts to establish a presence within Saudi Arabia's rapidly growing innovation landscape. It is a powerful, national credibility and validation signal that increases trust with local partners and allows Hydrogen Utopia International access to all of the Kingdom's Ministries, investors and giga-projects, accelerating HUI's ability to secure projects, investment and partnerships, with smoother government engagement and permitting, access to grants, funding schemes and national innovation programmes.

Hydrogen Utopia International believes that RDIA's mission and national importance make this emerging cooperation particularly significant. Alignment with RDIA's priorities places HUI's and InEnTec technology within Saudi Arabia's highest-level strategic framework for research, innovation and technological advancement.

Hydrogen Utopia International PLC will continue to update shareholders as further progress is made.

Aleksandra Binkowsa, CEO of Hydrogen Utopia International PLC, commented:

"We are honoured to receive such recognition from the Research, Development and Innovation Authority, an institution whose strategic vision is driving the Kingdom's research and industrial ambitions. Our exclusive option to represent InEnTec's plasma-assisted waste-to-hydrogen technology across MENA, with a particular focus on Saudi Arabia and the GCC, positions HUI to contribute meaningfully to low-carbon energy solutions and circular-economy initiatives. We look forward to working closely with RDIA and other key stakeholders to advance innovation, deliver sustainable industrial solutions, and strengthen Saudi Arabia's leadership in cutting-edge technology sectors."

Iman Ramani: "Receiving recognition from RDIA is a significant milestone for Hydrogen Utopia's entry into the Kingdom. It reflects the strength of our technology and validates the work we have done to align our vision with Saudi Arabia's national innovation agenda. I am proud to have led this engagement to support bringing world-class waste-to-hydrogen solutions to a country that is redefining the global clean-energy landscape."
