The Energy Center of the World

KAPSARC’s state-of-the-art campus will be located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital and largest city. A focal point of travel and trade that is symbolized by the 311-meter Kingdom Tower, the highest skyscraper in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh is a modern metropolis supported by robust infrastructure and offering historical landmarks, cultural diversions, fine dining and enticing shopping.

Centrally located and accessible by air both domestically and internationally, and by modern highway from anywhere in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh’s location makes it easy for academics and energy executives from all over the world to visit the Center.

Headquartered in an iconic complex near King Khalid International Airport designed by world-renowned architect Zaha Hadid, the Center is the first thing visitors see upon arriving in Riyadh and the last they glimpse before leaving, even from the air—keeping KAPSARC’s important work at the forefront of the minds of all who visit the Kingdom.
