The event follows two previously successful stops held in Al Jubail and Yanbu Industrial cities, where Wa\u2019ed pledged a number of loans and seed grants to eleven Saudi-based startups across various sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Co-sponsored by King Abdullah University for Science and Technology (KAUST), the ceremony took place in Jeddah to invite local entrepreneurs in environmental and deep technology, calling attention to the social and economic significance of these two increasingly popularized sectors in the region.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe landscape is rapidly evolving&nbsp;in Saudi Arabia for&nbsp;deep&nbsp;tech startups and we are excited to hear from the next generation of game changers at the Wa\u2019ed roadshow,\u201d said Hattan Ahmed, Head of KAUST Entrepreneurship Center. \u201cKAUST and Wa\u2019ed share a common objective to support founders and develop our local ecosystem to create high value and high impact startups.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe believe in providing accessible and inclusive opportunities across various sectors and we will continue our mission to lead the search for true entrepreneurial innovation that makes the backbone of the kingdom\u2019s economic and technological development,\u201d said Fahad Alidi, Managing Director at Wa\u2019ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Jeddah, Wa\u2019ed dedicated financial support to four Saudi entrepreneurs, recommending a venture capital fund to Fathom Solutions, a Saudi-based software company providing enterprise AI and IoT platform solutions to increase digital business agility in the oil and gas industry. Established in 2019&nbsp;and led by Ibrahim Al-Baloud, the startup leads a team of more than 50 members across its global offices in Oslo, Warsaw, Houston, Kyiv, and Dharhan, where it assists clients in developing custom-made AI platforms to fit their enterprise data and use cases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to financial support, the investment will also enable Fathom to launch its product services to aid leading local industrial companies such as Saudi Aramco drive cost efficiency, business revenue, and overall productivity for their industrial pipeline operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For seed grants, Wa\u2019ed recommended SAR 75,000 to Mawidy, a deep tech startup utilizing Artificial Intelligence to enhance healthcare services, and SAR 50,000 to Last Link (Bubble), a proximity-based online video platform that turns virtual workshops to collaborative and engaging experiences. It also pledged a SAR 25,000 seed grant to Veem, a B2B AI-backed virtual commerce platform that aims to virtualize brick &amp; mortar retail stores to boost their customer experience and retention rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the national roadshow proceeds in the following two months with its planned tour around Riyadh, Madinah and Makkah, Wa\u2019ed will aim to promote higher visibility and financial support to more key entrepreneurial sectors, including reverse technology, hospitality and tourism, and transportation and logistics.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Established in 2011 as a wholly owned venture of Aramco, Wa\u2019ed has backed more than 100 Saudi-based startups through its business incubation, loan financing and venture funding services to become an active entity in Saudi Arabia\u2019s entrepreneurial ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Applications for upcoming roadshow stops are open to entrepreneurs through November.
