Saudi Arabia Expanding Global Investment in Research and Innovation
The Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) will invest $500M in launching four new technology and innovation facilities this year. Two facilities will be based in Saudi Arabia, and the other two will be built in India and China. SABIC's expansion will bring the organization's number of research facilities around the world to 18. The new facilities will focus on commercializing university technologies, training students and academics in entrepreneurship, and cultivating innovation infrastructure that can help Saudi Arabia develop industrial clusters.
