Taleed by Aramco – SME Creation & Growth
Aramco's programme for creating and growing SMEs in the Kingdom, focused on manufacturing, industrial, digital and sustainability businesses. It suits founders localising a product or supplier business more than software startups looking for an accelerator.
[ What you get ]
Help with business cases, technical expertise, links to raw-material suppliers and partners, navigation of government incentives, talent sourcing, training, market access and industrial land. Partner funds with a combined capital above SAR 3 billion (about USD 800M) cover financing.
[ Who it's for ]
Founders or companies with a business opportunity to create or localise in Saudi Arabia (New Business Creation track), or existing Saudi SMEs (Growth Support track). Detailed criteria are not published.
