Dubai-based AI venture builder Finder Group AI has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with WAM Saudi (World Advanced Manufacturing Saudi) to formalize its expansion into the Kingdom. The agreement, signed at GITEX 2025, marks a significant step for the newly launched company as it seeks to support Saudi Arabia’s burgeoning innovation and technology ecosystem.
A Strategic Move into The Kingdom
The MOU secures Finder Group AI’s participation in the upcoming WAM Saudi 2026 exhibition, a major industrial and technology event held under the patronage of the Saudi Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources. Scheduled for February 15-17, 2026, in Riyadh, the event will serve as a key platform for the venture builder to showcase its capabilities and connect with the local tech community. Organized by KAOUN International, an affiliate of the Dubai World Trade Centre, WAM Saudi aligns closely with the industrial strategy of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
Farid Yousefi, Founder and CEO of Finder Group AI, stated, “Our participation at WAM Saudi 2026 marks a significant step in expanding our presence across the region. We’re proud to collaborate with WAM Saudi under the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources to showcase how AI venture building can accelerate innovation and sustainable growth in Saudi Arabia.”
Aligning with Vision 2030
Finder Group AI’s expansion is strategically timed to capitalize on the opportunities presented by Saudi Arabia’s National Strategy for Data and Artificial Intelligence (NSDAI). Launched in 2020 by the Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA), the NSDAI is a core pillar of Vision 2030 and aims to establish at least 300 startups in data and AI by 2030. Finder Group AI is keen to support this ambition by leveraging its proprietary AI infrastructure to bridge capital, innovation, and execution for AI-driven startups in the Kingdom.
“We’re delighted to welcome Finder Group Ai to WAM Saudi 2026,” commented Alex Nicholl, Vice President at WAM Saudi. “Their participation reflects the growing role of artificial intelligence in advancing industrial innovations and digital transformation within the Kingdom.”
From GITEX Launch to Regional Ambition
This move into Saudi Arabia follows Finder Group AI’s official market launch at GITEX 2025. The venture builder’s proposition is to actively support visionary startups pushing the boundaries in AI, data science, and cutting-edge digital transformation. The partnership with WAM Saudi provides an immediate and high-profile avenue to engage with Saudi’s manufacturing and logistics sectors, demonstrating the company’s commitment to regional growth right from its inception.
