The Biban 2025 forum, organized by Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Small and Medium Enterprises (Monsha’at), has made a significant impact by delivering over 820 specialized advisory and mentorship sessions through its SME Support Center. Operating under the theme “A Global Destination for Opportunities,” the event reinforces its commitment to fostering a vibrant entrepreneurial landscape in the Kingdom.
A Targeted Mentorship Drive
In partnership with various entities, the SME Support Center aims to provide more than 3,000 advisory and mentorship sessions to entrepreneurs and investors throughout the forum. This ambitious initiative is powered by a team of 35 experts offering guidance across six critical advisory areas: Sales and Marketing, Feasibility Studies, Operations and Management, Legal Consulting, Strategic Planning, and Innovation and Development.
This comprehensive support structure is designed to equip founders with the practical knowledge needed to navigate the complexities of building and scaling a business.
Empowering Key Growth Sectors
The mentorship program extends across five strategic sectors vital to the Kingdom’s economic diversification. These include Social Entrepreneurship, Agriculture and Environment, Sports, Culture, Health Services, and Tourism and Entertainment.
By focusing on these high-potential industries, Monsha’at is directly contributing to the development of a resilient and multifaceted economy, empowering startups to innovate within sectors aligned with national strategic goals.
A Pillar of Saudi Arabia’s Entrepreneurial Vision
This initiative is a core component of Monsha’at’s broader mission to strengthen the Saudi entrepreneurial ecosystem and ensure the long-term sustainability of SMEs. By providing practical solutions, the forum helps emerging projects grow, enhances the administrative, technical, and financial capabilities of founders, and creates pathways for expansion into both local and international markets.
