The Empretec Network, part of UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD)’s efforts to support entrepreneurs worldwide, has launched two ambitious initiatives in Saudi Arabia: FintechHub and LogiHub. These two programmes are designed to equip entrepreneurs with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in financial technology (fintech) and logistics – two sectors at the heart of the country’s economic diversification efforts. By 2029, the hubs aim to benefit 900 Saudi start-up founders, with 165 entrepreneurs already taking part this year. These projects are supported by Saudi Arabia’s Social Development Bank (SDB) and other local partners, including Fintech Saudi | فنتك السعودية and the Saudi Logistics Academy. 📖 Read more about how these hubs are driving innovation: https://bit.ly/4abxMeB

Empretec Network, a UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) capacity-building programme for entrepreneurs worldwide, has launched two new projects – FintechHub and LogiHub – to boost innovation in Saudi Arabia.   The projects aim to arm Saudi entrepreneurs with the skills, knowledge and tools needed to thrive in logistics and financial technology – or fintech – two booming sectors poised to drive diversification and transformation in the Middle East’s largest economy.   “Empretec Logihub and FintechHub excel at fostering sustainable and impactful business cultures,” says Arlette Verploegh, who leads entrepreneurship development work at UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD). “Entrepreneurs at Empretec learn to thrive in a world where creativity and innovation are essential.”   Empretec’s LogiHub and FintechHub are expected to benefit around 900 Saudi start-up founders by 2029, with 165 having already started their journey in 2024.   The development and launch of the two projects were supported in part by Saudi Arabia’s Social Development Bank (SDB), an Empretec partner since 2014.   Empretec also collaborates with local partners, including the National Industrial Development and Logistics Programme, the Saudi Logistics Academy, Fintech Saudi | فنتك السعودية and the Center of Digital Entrepreneurship.   Learn more: https://ow.ly/ICTi50Uwy41
