The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is advancing towards Vision 2030, with a rapidly growing startup ecosystem that continues to open new gateways for innovation, entrepreneurship, and limitless opportunities. The Kingdom’s surging venture capital market has already positioned Saudi Arabia as the #1 funded country in MENA. With strong government support and a sustainable framework for startups, the nation is shaping the foundation of the next era of entrepreneurship.
We are proud to host Saudi Startup Expo 2025, taking place on 12–13 November 2025 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Riyadh – Al Wadi.
