Riyadh – Sharikat Mubasher: Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture announced it has opened registration for its 2026 accelerator programs—Sunbolah, Sedrah, and Sahabah—aimed at supporting startups across the agriculture, environment, and water sectors.

The initiative, launched through the ministry’s entrepreneurship ecosystem, features three specialized tracks. Sunbolah focuses on advancing agri-food ventures, while Sedrah targets entrepreneurs working in environmental and sustainability fields, according to the Ministry’s press release. Sahabah, meanwhile, is dedicated to startups operating in the water sector.

Participating startups will gain access to a range of support services, including direct mentorship from industry experts, training sessions to enhance entrepreneurial skills, and assistance with regulatory procedures and licensing.

The ministry noted that support will continue beyond the program period through ongoing follow-ups to help ensure sustainable growth in the local market.

The programs will be hosted in Riyadh, with registration open from 14 April to 12 May, 2026. The ministry has invited startups and entrepreneurs to apply and take advantage of the training and advisory opportunities offered by the accelerators.
