56

Proposal for Funding & FinanceProposal for Funding & Finance

Given its ideal location and the explicit returns for the industry, the KASP-KFUPM Company is being formed with participation from: KFUPM Private Investments (Venture Capital) Saudi major companies (Saudi Aramco, SABIC,

possibly others) The University would be responsible for

establishment of standards for leasing, while the operation, maintenance and construction would be the responsibility of the KASP-KFUPM Company

57

Governance & ManagementGovernance & Management

For effective management and governance, KASP-KFUPM Company will be formed based on the collaboration between three major parties:

– University: knowledge and resources– Industry: financing and R&D– Government: regulations and incentives

The Park will be managed as a commercial enterprise by a Park Manager, who heads the management team, and will be overseen by the Board of Directors of KASP-KFUPM

58

Finally….Finally….

The Science Park will provide a platform for exploration and take-off of Japanese businesses

University will provide the Land, Infrastructure support, etc., at nominal price

Venture Capital and other similar support is available in the Kingdom

The park will give the Japanese companies an opportunity to open their businesses to Saudi markets

59

Finally….Finally….

The Science park is a strong statement of KFUPM’s determination to maintain its high standards.

The initiative will couple the University with industry, and will create an environment with vast potential for joint technological R&D and enhancement of business opportunities for tenant companies.

At the Science-Park, companies conduct research independently for their own motives, by their own researchers, utilizing their own facilities, and may involve University researchers & facilities, without intervention of University
