Technology in Riyadh. In addition to the support provided by NTDP and the Ministry, the
startup’s accomplishments further link to the significant support from various other authorities

in the country, including Saudi Unicorns.

Bridge Initiative’s first cohort. This accomplishment reinforces our pioneering role in the

industry, recognizing our relentless efforts to provide an affordable enterprise-grade
multilingual omnichannel communications platform across the Middle East. We extend our
gratitude to our team, clients, partners, and the government for their unwavering support,

which has bolstered our position as a global market leader in the SaaS sector.”

ecosystem in Saudi Arabia. Through various interventions and support mechanisms, it

enhances effectiveness and fosters sustainable growth, aligning with the initiatives of other
stakeholders. Additionally, the program empowers key enablers in the technology market, who

strive to position the country as a preferred regional hub for innovation and industry
investment.
