Riyadh – Sharikat Mubasher: Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, through its Center of Digital Entrepreneurship (CODE), has launched a dedicated incubator to support the growth of artificial intelligence startups.

The initiative, involving 20 AI startups, aims to empower entrepreneurs to transform ideas into practical tech solutions. It provides a comprehensive support system that includes advanced technical resources, strategic partnerships, financial assistance, and expert mentorship — all within a dynamic innovation ecosystem.
