A new AI-powered venture builder, Finder Group Ai, has officially launched in the UAE, announcing its strategic expansion into Saudi Arabia’s burgeoning tech ecosystem. The Dubai-based company formalized its regional ambitions by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with WAM Saudi (World Advanced Manufacturing Saudi) during GITEX 2025, setting the stage for its participation in the major industrial and technology event in 2026.
Strategic Expansion into the Kingdom
The MOU marks a significant first step for Finder Group Ai as it aims to support visionary startups in AI, data science, and digital transformation across the region. The agreement secures the venture builder’s participation in the WAM Saudi 2026 exhibition, which will be held from February 15-17, 2026, in Riyadh under the patronage of the Saudi Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources.
Farid Yousefi, Founder and CEO of Finder Group Ai, commented on the collaboration, stating, “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.”
Alex Nicholl, Vice President of WAM Saudi, added, “Their participation reflects the growing role of artificial intelligence in advancing industrial innovations and digital transformation within the Kingdom. Through this collaboration we aim to spotlight the technologies and ventures that are shaping a smarter more sustainable future for Saudi Arabia’s manufacturing and logistics sectors.”
Aligning with Vision 2030
Finder Group Ai is positioning itself to contribute directly to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, particularly its National Strategy for Data and Artificial Intelligence (NSDAI). Launched in 2020 by the Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA), the strategy includes the ambitious target of establishing at least 300 startups in data and AI by 2030. Finder Group Ai aims to be a key enabler in achieving this goal by leveraging its proprietary AI infrastructure to bridge capital, innovation, and execution for emerging AI-driven startups.
