Monsha’at has launched a five-day immersive tour to Silicon Valley, California, bringing together six of the Kingdom’s fastest-growing companies that demonstrate strong potential for international expansion and future unicorn status. The initiative aims to equip these emerging firms with global exposure, advanced entrepreneurial insights, and access to influential ecosystems that can accelerate their growth beyond regional boundaries.
The first day of the tour featured intensive workshops and interactive sessions led by prominent figures in global venture capital and innovation. Discussions centered on refining business models, enhancing expansion strategies, improving investment readiness, and preparing for potential initial public offerings in the coming years. Participants also visited Stanford University, one of the world’s most renowned hubs for innovation and entrepreneurship, followed by a networking dinner with executives from leading global technology companies.
On the second day, the program included three panel discussions and specialized workshops that explored venture-capital–driven expansion opportunities, IPO readiness, and the broader challenges facing startup ecosystems in competitive global markets. Industry experts, investors, and innovation advisers shared strategic insights on scaling, sustainability, and navigating global entrepreneurial landscapes.
This tour represents a strategic gateway for participating Saudi companies, offering them direct access to international investors, cutting-edge expertise, and high-impact networking opportunities. It also aligns with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 objectives of empowering startups, strengthening innovation capabilities, and building a diversified, knowledge-driven economy.
