Published 27 Aug,2020 via Asharq Alawsat (English Edition) - Seeking to empower women entrepreneurship in the industrial sector, the Saudi Organization for Industrial Estates and Technology Zones (MODON) announced plans to establish fully equipped small-scale factories that sit on top of 200 square meters each.
