A technology park in Panama known in Spanish as Ciudad de Saber. Proposed in 1994, the transformation of the former US military installation was started in 1999 with ambitious plans to create a business and academic center of sustainability.

Formerly known as Fort Clayton, the site was the main residential compound for US military in the Canal Zone. Originally named Corundu Military Reservation it was redesignated 30 December 1919 as Fort Clayton in honor of Col. Bertram T. Clayton.

Fort Clayton was home to the 33rd Infantry from 1920 to 1941 and the 1st Battalion, 2nd Field Artillery from 1934 to 1941.
