STC Bahrain to launch technology park

Stc Bahrain, a subsidiary of the stc Group, a global digital enabler, has announced a strategic cooperation with the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications to establish the region’s first-of-its-kind technology park.

To develop the project in Al-Qurain, Stc Bahrain will lease 55,000 square meters of land from the Bahraini government. The project will also be one of the first energy efficiency programs in the area, spurring local creativity in the use of renewable energy.

In line with Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030, the new technology park will push new boundaries in the digital sphere and contribute to Bahrain’s digital economy.

In addition to diversifying the economy, the initiative will emphasize the advancement of local talent in the field of technology. Furthermore, it will assist local inhabitants by storing data in a more localized manner that is closer to end consumers.
