KING ABDULAZIZ CITY FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (KACST) is neither a factory nor a trading company. It is a government-funded, national scientific institution and a leading research and development organization in Saudi Arabia.

Company Introduction:

King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) is Saudi Arabia's premier scientific and technological organization. Established in 1977, its primary mission is to promote and support scientific research, technological development, and innovation across the Kingdom. KACST serves as the national science agency, policy advisor to the government on science and technology issues, and a key driver for strategic research areas vital to the nation's development.

KACST's roles include conducting cutting-edge scientific and applied research, developing advanced technologies, and fostering a culture of innovation. It collaborates extensively with universities, industries, and international research organizations to achieve its objectives. The institution plays a crucial role in supporting Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 goals by advancing national capabilities in various scientific fields, including but not limited to space technology, renewable energy, water resources, nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and advanced materials. While KACST may develop prototypes or specialized components as part of its research, its fundamental function is not commercial manufacturing or trading. Instead, it focuses on knowledge creation, technology transfer, and human capital development in science and technology.

KING ABDULAZIZ CITY FOR SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY (KACST) is primarily a research and development institution. It doesn't typically manufacture or sell products directly to consumers or businesses in the conventional sense. Its activities focus on:

* **Research and Development:** Conducting scientific and applied research in various fields.

* **Technology Transfer:** Licensing and commercializing technologies developed through its research.

* **Scientific Publications:** Publishing research findings and scientific journals.

* **Consulting Services:** Providing scientific and technical consulting to government and private entities.

While KACST may be involved in the development of technologies that are later commercialized by other companies, it does not directly sell tangible products like consumer goods or industrial equipment. Any revenue generated typically comes from licensing agreements, research grants, and consulting fees.
