Case Study: R&D Strategy in KSA

Comparative Analysis of Mission-Oriented R&D Models

For a leading R&D government entity in KSA, we undertook a comparative study of leading mission-oriented R&D policies globally. Through rigorous identification and comprehensive analysis of various operating models—covering governance mechanisms, project planning, processes and policies, performance management, financial frameworks, IP management, tech transfer and commercialization pathways, among other aspects—we provided an extensive review of key R&D frameworks.

This groundwork laid the foundation for key recommendations that informed the design of a customized operating model, aligning with the entity’s ambitions to redefine its R&D strategy.
