Saudi International Petrochemical Company (Sipchem) recently organised a workshop for the Dhahran Techno Valley (DTV) partner companies to identify areas of collaboration among the research and development centres.

The Dhahran Techno Valley (DTV) Partners Technical Exchange Workshop was held at the Sipchem Technology and Innovation Centre “Manar” in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.

This workshop aimed to exchange information on the technical capabilities and aspirations of the DTV partner companies, it said.

The workshop was attended by 75 people from the DTV partners, Saudi Aramco, and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), it added.

During this workshop, 11 of the research and development centres presented their views, capabilities, technical equipment, research project profile, and some other collaboration activities, said a statement.

Participants also highlighted the sector challenges and opportunities to enhance the products research and development.

The event comes as Sipchem’s commitment toward promoting innovation and research environment.   

The company concluded last month its Riyadh-based workshop where Sipchem presented its technical capabilities and introduced some new grade of the polymers in the Saudi Arabian market, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
