Mentor Graphics (NASDAQ:MENT), a technology leader in Electronic
Design Automation (EDA), and King Abdulaziz City for Science and
Technology (KACST) in Saudi Arabia announced their cooperation for
the promotion and development of Electronics Design Technology in
Saudi Arabia. This cooperation is based on the agreement signed by
both parties to establish the Advanced Microelectronics Technology
Center (AMTC) at KACST. This Center will contribute to the Saudi
National Strategic Plan through the Advanced Technology Program
(ATP), the Professional Training Program (PTP) and the Incubation
Support Program (ISP). These programs are the first steps of
cooperation between KACST and Mentor Graphics, with more programs
running under KACST’s AMTC to be initiated later. Under the initial
agreement, Mentor Graphics will provide comprehensive design
automation software as well as consulting and training services. As
part of the agreement, the company will cooperate with government
bodies, as well as extend its university outreach program in Saudi
Arabia.
“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has developed a strategic national
science and technology plan to be carried out over the next 20
years. KACST was assigned the responsibility of planning and
managing the execution of the Science and Technology plan. This
plan promotes and encourages research in many areas, a very
important one being advanced technology in microelectronics,”
explained Prince Turki Saud Mohamed Al-Saud, Vice President for
research at KACST.
“Mentor Graphics, one of the leading companies in the
Electronics Design Automation (EDA) industry in the region through
its Egyptian Development Center established in 1995, is pleased to
be able to help build the Advanced Microelectronics Technology
Center (AMTC). This cooperation framework will promote and
encourage electronics design in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” said
Gregory K. Hinckley, President of Mentor Graphics.
Dr. Sami Alhamidi, the Electronics, Communications and Photonics
Program Director at KACST, emphasizes, “In order to initiate and
establish an innovation cycle in the field of electronics design,
the electronics community in the kingdom must become proficient
with state-of-the-art electronic technologies. Therefore, one of
the principal drivers for the successful implementation of the
microelectronics R&D plan is the cooperation with world-class
global companies specialized in EDA technologies such as Mentor
Graphics.”
“To support KACST in building their expertise in electronic
design methodologies, Mentor Graphics will provide access to
certain expertise that already exists in its branch in Egypt. Our
consulting division will also provide its knowledge and experience
to selected teams at KACST and will cooperate on research in
advanced technology areas with KACST and local universities,”
explains Dr. Hazem Eltahawy, Managing Director of the Egypt
operation.
