Riyadh – Sharikat Mubasher: Community Jameel Saudi and King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology signed a strategic cooperation agreement to support innovation, entrepreneurship, and investment ecosystems in the Kingdom.

The agreement was announced on the sidelines of the Start Smart Investment Forum 2026, where both entities outlined plans to launch a series of joint programs and initiatives aimed at fostering technological advancement and startup growth.
