Berlin-founded Arab Therapy, a leading global platform for online psychological support, has secured a strategic investment from the Saudi company VMS to accelerate its expansion into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The announcement was made during the Global Health Exhibition 2025 in Riyadh.
This move follows a major milestone for the company: acquiring a telemedicine license from the Saudi Ministry of Health. This license paves the way for Arab Therapy to officially enter the market and reinforces its commitment to advancing digital mental health in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
Strategic Partnership for Digital Health
The partnership with VMS is a critical component of Arab Therapy’s regional growth strategy, enabling the company to build its local infrastructure and scale its digital healthcare operations within Saudi Arabia. VMS will leverage its expertise in empowering startups through advanced technology, operational excellence, and smart growth strategies to support this expansion.
Dr. Tareqk Dalbah, Founder and CEO of Arab Therapy, stated: “This investment from VMS marks a strategic milestone in Arab Therapy’s journey toward expanding into Saudi Arabia. We are building a comprehensive digital ecosystem that enables individuals and organizations to access professional psychological support easily and confidentially, creating a positive and sustainable impact on society.”
Moataz Abu Anq, Founder and CEO of VMS, added: “At VMS, we believe that innovation in the healthcare sector must include mental health as an essential part of overall well-being. Our partnership with Arab Therapy aligns with this vision and allows us to contribute to building a holistic digital ecosystem that supports individuals and creates a real, positive impact in society.”
AI-Powered Support for the Saudi Market
A key element of the expansion includes accelerating the rollout of the first Arabic AI-powered mental health assistant. This innovative tool is designed to offer instant, safe, and personalized psychological support in Arabic, reflecting Arab Therapy’s ambition to lead and innovate within the digital mental health sector.
Aligning with Vision 2030
Through this expansion, Arab Therapy aims to establish a comprehensive digital mental health ecosystem in Saudi Arabia that integrates professional care with technological innovation. The company plans to collaborate across the education, healthcare, and corporate sectors to enhance well-being.
This initiative directly supports the goals of Saudi Vision 2030’s Quality of Life Program by focusing on improving mental wellness and community happiness across the Kingdom.
