Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed bin Salman Foundation (Misk Foundation) awarded a contract worth SAR 1.8 billion to the Dubai-based Alec Engineering and Contracting Company to establish a technology center at Prince Mohammed bin Salman Nonprofit City.

The Ilmi Science and Technology Centre will include an educational center that will be built on a total space of 27,000 square meters, according to the Middle East Economic Digest (MEED).
