A Global Platform for Connection and Growth
Biban 2025 aims to serve as a pivotal international platform connecting entrepreneurs with investors, enablers, and key decision-makers. The upcoming edition will feature over 1,000 exhibitors, including local, regional, and international entrepreneurs, alongside 150 enabling entities from both the public and private sectors. The forum is expected to facilitate new business launches and significant agreements within the startup and entrepreneurship ecosystem.
Sami bin Ibrahim Al-Hussaini, Governor of Monsha’at, stated that the forum acts as “a global platform that brings entrepreneurs together with investors and decision-makers, opening broad horizons for the entrepreneurial journey at all its stages.” He described it as a bridge connecting ideas with investment and providing direct communication channels for entrepreneurs in a stimulating environment for innovation.
Strengthening the Kingdom’s Entrepreneurial Hub
