Community Jameel Saudi, a member of the global network of the Abdul Latif Jameel World Education Lab of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, announced the conclusion of the semifinals of the StartSmart Competition, after three months of intense training. The competition is sponsored by Community Jameel Saudi and organized by Bab Rizq Jameel, with this year marking its 7th consecutive edition. Through this competition, Community Jameel Saudi aims primarily to bolster the entrepreneurship ecosystem in the Kingdom, fostering innovation, and empowering entrepreneurs to develop their own ideas and projects. This will ultimately help increase the number of SMEs and create job opportunities in the local market.

This year’s competition witnessed remarkable participation, drawing more than 1,000 applicants from diverse age groups and sectors since its launch in April. Participants chose from four distinct tracks: Startups, Ideas, Social Enterprise and Environment, with 60 teams qualifying for the semifinal stage. These teams underwent an intensive training camp between July 16-18, covering a variety of topics, including strategic planning, marketing and financial management. During the Virtual Demo Day, participants presented their projects and ideas to a judging panel, resulting in the selection of 36 teams for the final stage.
