KAUST focuses on deep tech, not fintech, says VP

JEDDAH: The King Abdullah University of Science and Technology is focused on deep tech areas and not on fintech, said a senior university official.

“We are unlikely to be focused on things like fintech because we don’t do that. We are focused on deep tech in core research areas like food, water, energy and environment,” Kevin Cullen, vice president of innovation and economic development, KAUST, told Arab News.
