  40. Common Success Factors 1/3(Riyadh?) • Strong leadership & Competitive Strategy Yes. But, strong financial supports are essential. In addition, strategic planning for Cyber Riyadh City in cooperation with Riyadh State, authorities concerned, academic institutes etc. are essential. • Excellent IT infrastructure Unknown. Intensive IT infrastructure is required urgently to attract multinational IT companies. More importantly, attractive information service at low cost is must.

  41. Common Success Factors 2/3 (Riyadh?) • Incentives to IT clusters Not yet. Special incentives, among all, to multi- national IT institutes are must to invite. For example, free intelligent office, free corporate tax, free duty on IT hardware, excellent living compound,government/municipality sponsored R&D, • IT Human Resources for R&D Unclear. IT university or R&D institutes might be necessary to foster Saudi IT clusters for economic development. Strategic alliances with overseas institute/universities with incentives are essential.

  42. Common Success Factors 3/3(Riyadh?) • Venture Business Promotion In progress, but not enough. Not only VC but also intensive services such as marketing supports, financial consultation, management advises/consultation, networking with institutional investors/angels in KSA and overseas etc. are essential. • University - Industry Collaboration Unclear in Riyadh.

  43. Conclusion… • Excellent IT City in Riyadh can be created artificially through IT clustering. • Excellent IT City in Riyadh should be ORIGINAL, not be the same models of others. Nothing ventured, nothing gained !!!
