Saudi Arabia’s first technology park will be ready for occupation in 2007 in Dammam, the Saudi Organisation for Industrial Estates & Technology Zones (SOIETZ) was quoted as saying in the Saudi press.

Work on the Dammam Technology Zone (DTZ) begins this month (December). The park will be located on a 3.5 million sq m site in the northern corner of Dammam’s Second Industrial Estate.
The DTZ will be developed and operated by the private sector under a build-operate-and-transfer contract (BOT) to ensure the highest level of standards and efficiency.
According to SOIETZ, the DTZ’s designated area is near a major highway and well connected to all important landmarks in the Eastern Province such as Saudi Aramco and King Fahd University for Petroleum and Minerals, King Fahd International Airport, Dammam Seaport and the King Fahd Causeway to Bahrain.
