Jubail, spread over 1,016 square kilometers about 100 kilometers north of Dammam, is one of the world\u2019s largest industrial cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new collaboration calls for Wa\u2019ed to support entrepreneurship ventures opening within Royal Commission industrial cities for potential non-collateralized, low-cost loans from Wa\u2019ed. The Commission could also use the services of Wa\u2019ed\u2019s new Venture Builder Program, a demand-driven creator of custom-made start-ups that fill critical industry gaps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement by Wa\u2019ed, the Saudi Aramco Entrepreneurship Center, is the latest in a wave of collaborations intended to raise the pace and quality of SME creation in the Kingdom and speed the nation\u2019s economic diversification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In November, Wa\u2019ed formed a partnership with Oqal, the leading angel investors network in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. That was followed in December by an alliance with the economic development agency of Madinah, Namaa Almunawarah. Last week, Wa\u2019ed signed an MOU with Taibah Valley Company, a start-up hub in Madinah that specializes in blockchain, Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MOU with the Royal Commission was signed in a virtual ceremony by Wassim Basrawi, the Wa\u2019ed Managing Director, and Dr. Ahmed Zaid Alhussain, the General Manager of the Royal Commission for Jubail &amp; Yanbu. The MOU is part of Wa\u2019ed\u2019s ongoing efforts to accelerate modernization and digitalization of the Kingdom\u2019s industrial sector, as well as support the supply chain partners of Aramco.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are thrilled to establish this new working relationship with the Royal Commission for Jubail &amp; Yanbu,\u201d Mr. Basrawi said. \u201cThis new collaboration aims to boost the pace and quality of Saudi\u2019s newest industrial players and it potentially gives Wa\u2019ed an exciting new role as a key enabler of mission-critical industrial start-ups.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Said Dr. Alhussain: \u201cWe are grateful for this new collaboration with Wa\u2019ed, which will support our drive to expand Royal Commission industrial cities to include the latest innovative SMEs that are helping modernize and localize the nation\u2019s industrial sector value chain.
