RIYADH: The Premium Residency Center has awarded the “Entrepreneurship Residency” permit to more than 100 entrepreneurs from over 20 countries during the Biban 2025 Forum.
Organized by the Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority, known as Monsha’at, the four-day event — held at the Riyadh Front Exhibition and Convention Center under the theme “A Global Destination for Opportunities” — serves as a key platform to support startups and promote entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia.
Arab News spoke with two recipients of the Entrepreneur Residency who shared their reflections on the program.
Majdi Allulu, founder and CEO of Grintafy, a Saudi-based sports technology startup, which he described as “LinkedIn for football players.”
“The process was smooth and simple,” he said. “As a sports tech entrepreneur, it’s an honor to be recognized for our contribution to the Kingdom’s ecosystem. This residency motivates us to continue building and contributing to Saudi Arabia’s growing innovation landscape.”
