Behavia at BX2025
It was a pleasure to participate in this year’s Behavioral Exchange 2025 conference in Abu Dhabi. The sessions were insightful, the conversations inspiring, and we came back with new perspectives and renewed energy.
Behavioral Insights for Vision 2030 and beyond
Over the past decade, Behavioral Insights (BI) have become a powerful tool for enhancing policy effectiveness worldwide. In Saudi Arabia, an active BI community has been leveraging these insights across various policy sectors. A new paper published by a group of leading experts in the Saudi BI community – among them our Managing Director Dr. Manuel Schubert – discusses how Vision 2030 can further benefit from the systematic use of BI, particularly in education and human capability development.
The most powerful consulting model is the one that ends
In the world of consulting, success is often measured by how long a firm stays embedded in a client’s operations. The longer the engagement, the more valuable the relationship, so the logic goes. But what if real impact lies in doing the opposite? What if the most transformative consulting work is the kind that ends?
Flagship health contest launched for 5th time
In 2019, Behavia supported the Saudi Ministry of Health in designing the national health initiative Walk30 as part of our Masterclass on Behavioral Public Health Policy. The Ministry launched the inaugural edition of Walk30 in 2020 and has since continued to run the campaign annually.
Over the years, Walk30 has grown into the Ministry’s flagship community health initiative. With over 1 million participants to date, it stands as one of the most impactful and enduring public health movements in the region – a success underscored by its recognition with the Kotler Award for “Best Health and Wellness Campaign.”
Making tax compliance easier
The European Commission’s DG Reform is currently supporting authorities in Austria, Belgium, and Portugal in applying behavioral insights to improve tax compliance.

Call for Behavioral Scientists
Are you a passionate researcher with expertise in designing, executing, and analyzing behavioral experiments? Do you want to apply your skills in commissioned research and help stress-test public policies? If so, we would love to hear from you!
Biases in the remote-working world
Modern remote work and large collaborative online projects are both a blessing and a challenge. On one hand, they enable flexible working arrangements and bring together global expertise. On the other hand, the physical distance among team members makes us more susceptible to behavioral biases.
Ramadan Kareem
We wish you a blessed and peaceful Ramadan 2025. May you celebrate it with your beloved ones being safe, well and happy.
