1826 Partners proudly attended the Biban 2024 forum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a forum that continues to serve as a vital platform for innovation and entrepreneurship in the Middle East.

Hosted by the General Authority for Small and Medium Enterprises "Monsha’at", Biban 2024 attracted thousands of visionaries, startups, and industry leaders, all eager to exchange insights, forge connections, and explore growth opportunities aligned with Saudi Vision 2030.

Connecting with Saudi Entrepreneurs

For 1826 Partners, expanding our presence in the Middle East and strengthening our foothold in Saudi Arabia is a strategic priority. At Biban 2024, we connected with dynamic entrepreneurs, local startups, and SMEs, broadening our network and reinforcing our commitment to fostering a robust cross-regional business ecosystem. By engaging with Saudi investors and other strategic stakeholders, we explored collaboration opportunities that align with our decentralized model and our vision of building successful ventures alongside like-minded individuals across Europe and the MENA region.

Meeting with Our Community

One of the highlights of Biban 2024 for 1826 Partners was the opportunity to connect with two valued members of our community: Estajer and CARO.

Estajer is a Saudi-based marketplace specializing in B2B and B2C asset rentals. Meeting with the Estajer team at Biban allowed us to discuss targeted growth strategies and explore new ways to support their mission within the Saudi and broader MENA markets. We’re excited to offer Estajer customized Advisory and Fundraising Services that align with their specific needs and growth goals.

CARO, an innovative app transforming the car rental experience through seamless digital solutions. CARO’s vision for simplifying and modernizing car rentals aligns closely with our commitment to backing ventures that enhance user experiences. In our discussions, we explored potential avenues for collaboration to support CARO’s expansion and impact in the region.

Our connections with Estajer and CARO reflect our dedication to nurturing long-term relationships with high-potential ventures. Through tailored services and a shared vision for success, we aim to empower these companies to achieve new milestones in their growth journey.

Reaffirming Our Commitment to the MENA Region

Our time at Biban 2024 reaffirmed our commitment to empowering entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia and the MENA region by establishing a platform that connects local entrepreneurs with global opportunities. We’re excited to continue expanding our network and supporting innovative startups as they scale their impact in the region and beyond.

By connecting with founders, innovative startups, and strategic investors, we strengthened our cross-regional network and explored exciting new opportunities aligned with our vision. Engaging with companies like Estajer and CARO highlights our dedication to fostering long-term partnerships that drive impactful growth. As we continue expanding our presence in the region, we look forward to empowering more ventures to succeed, contributing to a vibrant, interconnected business community that bridges Europe and the MENA region.
