JEDDAH – The Kingdom has recently embarked upon aggressive projects in its bid to repatriate capital and attract value-added foreign investments. King Abdullah, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, launched the first of its kind and the third economic city in the Kingdom in Madina in June 2006 as a part of the move to develop the Kingdoms regions in a high-tech manner.
The city of Jeddah, the Bride of the Red Sea and the gateway to the Two Holy Mosques, also has the potential to become a Knowledge City (KC), one in which the economy is driven by research, technology and brainpower, according to Dr. Amro A. Taibah, Dean of the Faculty of Environmental Design (FED) at King Abdulaziz University here.
