Othman said that the Foundation's Secretary General, Dr. Khalid Al-Sabti, said the inventors will be recognized in the first national exhibition on inventions, to be held in 2008. Saudi Aramco will co-sponsor that exhibition. “Participating in this exhibition gave me the chance to represent Saudi Aramco and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at the same time,” said Dr Al-Othman. “As a result of this, I am increasingly proud of being a Saudi Aramco employee and Saudi at the same time.” The Geneva Exhibition attracted 62,987 visitors in five days and had more than 700 exhibitors from 42 countries presenting nearly a thousand inventions.
