Libya's Science and Technology City, established by Cabinet Resolution No. 486 of 2021, is an independent scientific institution. Located in Swani Bin Adam, about 30 km southwest of Tripoli, this national project seeks to advance science and technology by converting research from universities and technical colleges into practical development projects. Its objectives include connecting higher education with the job market, supporting innovation and technological entrepreneurship, assisting researchers and inventors, localizing technology, organizing scientific events, and developing Libyan scientific personnel. The city will serve as a link between academia, government, and the private sector, transforming scientific research into economic projects, fostering startups, and contributing to a knowledge economy. Currently in its activation and preparation phase, the project is expected to reduce oil dependence, create youth employment, and support local innovation if effectively implemented.
