The number of foreign startups licensed under the “entrepreneur license” by the Ministry of Investment (MISA) in Saudi Arabia increased to 550 by mid-2025, marking a 118% growth compared to mid-2024.

 

The Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority (Monsha’at) issued 364 licenses for business incubators and accelerators across the Kingdom, the state-run Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

 

The “entrepreneur license”, issued by MISA for startups, is one of the Ministry’s key initiatives designed to empower stakeholders within the entrepreneurship ecosystem. It enables both international and local entrepreneurs to easily establish their ventures with companies worldwide.
