The home of deep tech business
Saudi Arabia has a rapidly growing economy and has been ranked one of the easiest places to do business in the Middle East. KAUST is poised to become one of the Kingdom’s economic and innovation hubs. Located 80 kilometers north of Jeddah on the Red Sea, only minutes south of King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC), and along a future high-speed rail line connecting to the Jeddah International Airport, among other stops, KAUST is a research center, a university town and an important source of regional growth.
The park currently covers roughly 2.7 million square meters of space near the heart of KAUST’s campus. All buildings within the park have a minimum of LEED Silver certification as defined by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). Buildings conserve water through the use of a local desalination plant and have been designed to optimize energy performance.
