An effective training and job creation strategy has been developed by the third Future of Semiconductors Forum in Riyadh. This is reported by
Saudi Press Agency.

The purpose of the event was to empower Saudi innovators and talented individuals in the semiconductor sector. It was organised by the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) in partnership with the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).

The source claims that over 1,500 professionals and enthusiasts participated in the event, which drew global investments, and over 40,000 viewers from more than 50 nations visited the Forum.
