The Garage Disrupt, the leading technology destination in Saudi Arabia has signed a strategic partnership with Google for Startups, a startup program launched by the tech giant, to support more than 100 emerging technology companies around the world annually.
Under the partnership, The Garage and its startups will join a network of the best startup accelerators programs in Latin America, Africa, Europe and Asia
The partnership with Google for Startups, which was announced during the fourth edition of the Al Garage event that was held in Riyadh, with the attendance of more than 300 people interested in the entrepreneurship sector, aims to implement 4 business accelerators annually to enable 100 digital and technology startups and attract them to open their headquarters in the Kingdom.
This is in line with the objectives of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 to develop the digital economy, and this partnership also comes to enhance the role of ‘The Garage’, which empowered developing and empowering entrepreneurs and emerging companies in the technical and digital sectors since its launch at the LEAP2022 conference in February 2022.
The Saudi Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Eng. Abdullah bin Amer Al-Sawaha stressed that the partnership between The Garage and Google for Startups is part of the Kingdom’s efforts to empower male and female entrepreneurs to continue regional leadership through innovative digital solutions and applications.
The Garage project works as a business model that combines business incubators and accelerators with everything that technology companies need for success and growth, as it includes three main elements such as The Garage Disrupt, which is a monthly event that brings emerging technology companies together with investors and in the presence of government and private sectors, Garage Plus, which is considered a global business accelerator, and the “Garage” headquarters, which provides male and female entrepreneurs with all the tools necessary for the success of their projects.
