The MENA-based ecosystem builder parachute16 has officially opened the P16 Hub in Riyadh, marking a significant expansion of its physical presence in the Kingdom. Located on Anas Ibn Malik Road, the new facility is designed to serve as a central nexus for the regional startup community, providing a dedicated space where founders, investors, and ecosystem enablers can connect and scale within the Saudi market.

A Strategic Gateway For Market Entry

The P16 Hub is positioned as a comprehensive platform for growth, specifically targeting the needs of both local and international entrepreneurs.
