A New Era for Entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is poised to become the epicenter of innovation and entrepreneurship as it prepares to host Biban Forum 2025. Scheduled from November 5 to 8, this flagship gathering, organized by the Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority (Monsha'at), aims to unite startups, SMEs, and innovators under the theme "Global Destination for Opportunities." With over 140,000 visitors from more than 150 countries expected to attend, the forum promises to be a transformative experience for the global entrepreneurial community.
The agenda for Biban Forum 2025 is ambitious and multifaceted.

The Global Finals of the Entrepreneurship World Cup
In addition to its numerous offerings, Biban Forum 2025 will host the Global Finals of the Entrepreneurship World Cup (EWC), the largest competition for startups worldwide. This year, the EWC will gather the top 100 finalists from a remarkable pool of over 10,300 entrepreneurs across 16 sectors. With participation from 191 countries and collaboration with 64 Global Ecosystem Partners, the competition underscores the forum's significance as a global platform for aspiring entrepreneurs.
The Governor of Monsha'at, Sami Ibrahim Al-Hussaini, emphasized that Biban Forum 2025 transcends the traditional conference format; it serves as a vital bridge connecting innovative ideas with investment opportunities. As Saudi Arabia accelerates its transformation into a premier hub for entrepreneurship, this forum stands as a powerful platform to showcase talent, forge partnerships, and contribute to the ambitious goals outlined in Saudi Vision 2030.
With the success of previous editions, including Biban24 Forum, which attracted over 182,000 visitors and facilitated agreements worth more than $9.3 billion, expectations are high for Biban Forum 2025. As the Kingdom continues to solidify its position in the global entrepreneurship landscape, the forum promises to deliver unparalleled opportunities for collaboration, investment, and innovation.
