By: Muhjah, Ibtihaaj Ganem

In the early 2000s, technology innovation became a strategic choice for Saudi Arabia, supported by an increasing base of start-up technology businesses and young Saudis, who are considered a potential driving force for innovation and entrepreneurial activities. Since then, technological innovation encouraged more Saudi young people to become entrepreneurs or innovators. Thus, in mid 2000s, Saudi Arabia launched many initiatives related to innovation, science, and technology, such as the establishment of innovation centers and research parks, in an effort to support developing individuals who could potentially become future entrepreneurs. The purpose of this study was to identify the top leadership skills for running Saudi Arabian technology innovation centers and examine the key factors that affect the Saudi innovation environment. In addition, the SPELIT framework was used to identify the driving forces/factors affecting the Saudi Arabian innovation environment.
