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).

Candian firms WSP and AtkinsRealis are the project consultants.

The center will allow young people to connect with subjects including science, technology, literature, engineering, art, and mathematics.

The city will host academies, colleges, Misk Schools, a conference center, a science museum, and a creative center offering a space to support the ambitions of innovators in sciences and new-generation technology such as AI, IoT, and robotics.
