International startups from PoC to growth stage addressing a challenge in the construction industry and willing to engage in pilot opportunities in Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi Accelerator operates through three selection sessions per year, each resulting in a group of 8–10 startups per cohort invited to explore pilot opportunities in Saudi Arabia. There is no long-term fixed cohort; timelines are adapted to each pilot and partner need.

During the selection process, your startup may be invited to participate in a demo day in Saudi Arabia, a portion of your travel expenses will be compensated. If your startup is chosen to participate in the pilot phase, the contractor of project owner will support the cost.

Each project has its own financial considerations, so when the time comes, all of these details will be taken into account and discussed in order to ensure that the terms of the project are satisfactory for both parties.

A few minutes for applying. if pre-selected, you will be invited to spend 1-2 days with all programme partners in Saudi Arabia, a great way to do business development and better understand the potential in KSA. If selected for pilots, the workload will depend on the nature of each pilot. We also expect participants to actively participate and engage in the program to fully benefit from the network and business development coaching.

The first edition of the Saudi Accelerator will launch in early 2026, with applications open ahead of each session.
