The Saudi Kingdom's first Integrated Technology Zone will be established in the Eastern Province setting the stage for the manufacture of high technology products in Saudi Arabia.
A spokesman of the newly established Saudi Organization for Industrial Estates and Technology Zones (SOIETZ) told Arab News daily that the first technology zone will come up in the Eastern Province, spreading on more than 3.5 million sq. meters. He said the Dammam Technology Zone (DTZ) is meant to cluster high-tech industries and knowledge-based enterprises that specialize in energy, environment, advanced petrochemicals and new materials. The project is expected to jump-start many technology zones in the Kingdom.
