Following the partnership announced in February 2025, ZainTECH<\/a>, the integrated digital solutions provider of Zain Group,\u00a0 has worked with King Khalid University (KKU)<\/a> and the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT)<\/a> in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to deliver a specialized course on drone technology as part of KKU\u2019s \u201cExplore Innovate Disrupt\u201d Tech Camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Titled \u201cDrones & Robotics for Tomorrow\u2019s Leaders\u201d, the course introduced university students to the fundamentals of drone technology, real-world applications, use case development, and hands-on demonstration. The initiative is designed to spark innovation and equip the next generation of Saudi talent with practical skills in one of today\u2019s most disruptive emerging technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program aligns with ZainTECH\u2019s broader commitment to enabling educational institutions across the region through knowledge-sharing and applied digital learning. It also reflects the company\u2019s investment in the Kingdom\u2019s digital transformation journey and talent development efforts aligned with Vision 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis collaboration with King Khalid University and MCIT reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing the Kingdom\u2019s digital future.\u201d said Andrew Hanna, CEO of ZainTECH<\/strong>. \u201cThis program is about more than just learning how drones work, it\u2019s about helping students understand the transformative potential of emerging technologies in shaping future industries, communities, and careers. As part of our long-term engagement in Saudi Arabia, we\u2019re contributing to Vision 2030 by equipping young talent with critical skills and supporting national efforts to build a knowledge-driven economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The five-day course, held in late July at KKU\u2019s Abha campus, was delivered by experts from ZainTECH\u2019s Drones and Robotics unit, combining theory and interactive demonstrations tailored to university students with a background in computer science and related fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Areej Al-Asiry, Dean of the College of Computer Science at King Khalid University<\/strong>, commented: \u201cWe are delighted to partner with ZainTECH and the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) to bring this valuable learning experience to our students. This partnership reflects the university\u2019s commitment to being a national leader in digital transformation and its ongoing efforts to align academic programs with the Kingdom\u2019s strategic vision. By bridging the gap between academia and industry, we aim not only to equip our students with practical tools and insights but also to contribute to building a knowledge-based, tech-driven economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This course marks a significant step in fostering stronger ties between academia, government, and industry, bringing together practical expertise, national priorities, and educational advancement to inspire future innovators and support the Kingdom\u2019s vision for a tech-driven economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
