Meet the 5 startups chosen by Saudi’s Badir Accelerator

Saudi Arabia, like other countries in the Middle East, has increasingly been supportive of its start-up ecosystem, with new initiatives to support entrepreneurs and venture capital firms alike. Recently, the world-renowned venture capital firm 500 Startups entered into a collaboration with Saudi Arabia’s MiSK Foundation to start their own accelerator in Riyadh, another sign of the progression of the Kingdom.

Badir, another well-known established accelerator in the King Abdullah City for Science and Technology (KACST), has recently announced that it had selected 5 start-ups for its accelerator programme, which is to start in January 2019. The lucky start-ups selected from a total of 350 applications, will receive top-notch training, workshops, business offices and legal advice as part of the rigorous program.
