Participants will receive mentoring, attend virtual training workshops, build prototypes and present their final solutions during an in-person stage in Riyadh.
According to the announcement, the program expects more than 1,000 participants and will offer 100 employment opportunities through recruitment partners. It will also include more than 45 mentors, nine days of activities and total prizes worth SAR 60,000. The first-place winner will receive SAR 30,000, followed by SAR 20,000 for second place and SAR 10,000 for third.
