Riyadh Climbs 60 Places Amongst Top 100 Emerging Startup Ecosystems
Riyadh jumps 60 spots over three years to rank 23rd in Startup Genome's 2025 global list, emerging as one of the MENA region's top startup hubs. Jun 18, 2025 Riyadh has been ranked 23rd in Startup Genome's 2025 'Global Startup Ecosystem' report, marking a dramatic rise of 60 positions over the past three years. The Saudi capital now stands among the top 100 emerging startup ecosystems globally and holds the second-highest position in the MENA region. According to the report, Riyadh placed third regionally in funding volume and fourth in talent availability—two key indicators of ecosystem strength. The city's rise has been fuelled by high-growth sectors including artificial intelligence, fintech, cybersecurity, smart cities, digital health, and infrastructure—core areas aligned with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 strategy for economic diversification. The ecosystem's progress also reflects a growing number of significant venture exits, including the notable $1.1 billion exit of insurtech company Rasan. These exits signal investor confidence and a maturing venture environment. Public-sector institutions such as Monsha'at, the General Authority for Small and Medium Enterprises, continue to play a pivotal role by promoting regulatory reforms, supporting accelerator programmes, and building infrastructure that supports long-term innovation and entrepreneurship. Startup Genome's 2025 report analysed data from more than five million startups across 350 ecosystems worldwide. Riyadh's strong showing reflects its accelerating maturity, increased access to capital, and robust infrastructure development. Since 2018, Riyadh's startup ecosystem has attracted more than $2.6 billion in venture capital investment. With growing momentum in digital innovation and government support, the city is positioning itself as a serious contender in the global tech landscape, challenging traditional hubs from Silicon Valley to Singapore.

Middle East ABBs gather momentum: IFR
While the Middle East's IPO pipeline continues to remain robust, bankers and investors are optimistic about the expansion of secondary offers, and accelerated bookbuilds in particular. 'Government-led companies have started to realise liquidity is an issue and now see more to be done with secondary offers,' said a regional investor. 'It makes sense for them to come to market with a stake that allows a deepening of the market.' A number of regional bankers said they have been approached by issuers regarding offers from private and state-backed companies. One banker in the region described ABBs as the likely theme of the year with March's sale in Rasan providing an example of a venture capital seller in a mid-cap company, in contrast to deals that have generally involved large state-backed names. One regional banker recounted positive engagement from one would-be private seller until the prospect of selling at a discount to the market price was raised. Many secondary offers such as those by Adnoc subsidiaries and Aramco have been dominated by international accounts. 'The clear objective with Adnoc Gas was MSCI inclusion,' said Mostafa Gad, global head of investment banking at EFG Hermes. 'Internationals were knocking on doors and saying they need stock and want blocks.' A manager at a multi-family office in the region said there are many family offices that could move quickly and said local money is more than sufficient to provide coverage for ABBs. One gap is retail investors, which while typically responsible for large demand in IPOs are not eligible to take part in ABBs due to regulatory restrictions. European markets have in recent years seen the growth of retail platforms for ABBs such as PrimaryBid and RetailBook but the first regional banker said such digital platforms are unlikely to emerge until regulations change.
