Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority (DSOA), the regulatory body for Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO), the integrated free zone technology park, has signed a partnership agreement with the Jaguar Land Rover Limited Middle East and North Africa (JLR), the regional branch of Jaguar Land Rover Limited, to establish its new regional headquarters at the hi-tech park.
Dr Mohammed Alzarooni, Vice- Chairman and CEO of DSOA, and Bruce Robertson, Managing Director of JLR Middle East and North Africa, signed the agreement in the presence of senior officials from the two entities.
Set to comprise a training academy, an engineering testing centre and a customer relations centre, the project is scheduled for handover by Q1 2020. Once completed, the new premises will span a total area of 14,000 square metres.
Dr Alzarooni said: "Since its inception, DSOA has always embraced the latest innovations and technologies. Our partnership with JLR aligns with our goal of supporting the research and development of new mobility technologies, such as hybrid cars, electric vehicles, and artificial intelligence for vehicles."
He added: "We have a long-standing relationship with Jaguar Land Rover MENA that joined the ranks of our partners in 2009. We welcome the company's decision to expand its operations in the region through establishing its new regional headquarters and training academy at Dubai Silicon Oasis that testifies to the quality of support the hi-tech park provides to its business partners to help them achieve growth."
Robertson said: "We are delighted to launch our new regional headquarters in Dubai and proud to partner with DSOA, the leading promoter of technology and innovation in the region. We are confident that state-of-the-art regional office will enable us to add great value to our operations in the Middle East and North Africa."
