Ar-Riyadh ICT Strategy

Following SGS's involvement in the preparation of an economic development strategy for the city, the Ar-Riyadh Development Authority sought SGS leadership of a team of international consultants in the preparation of an strategy and business plan to position the city as a leading ICT Centre by 2020.

In effect, the Development Authority required a strategy which would help the city to catch-up, keep-up and get ahead in ICT development.

SGS was able to review trends and issues facing the ICT industry locally, nationally and globally. This included reviews of Ar-Riyadh's, Saudi Arabia's and the Gulf Co-operative Nation Council's economies and detailed market research activity. SGS was able to develop the key strategies of: 'ICT Business Clustering and Networking' programs and the establishment of a 'Research & Development and Technology Transfer' program. Numerous reforms were also proposed.
