In this regard, Ibrahim Al-Suwail, SAGIA deputy governor, stated that the Authority welcomes its partnership with MITEF Saudi Arabia, which serves as an added value to a series of supportive programs to push entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia towards a better future by supporting entrepreneurs and building their capabilities. "We continue to work with our strategic partners in the public and private sectors to turn their ideas into real promising projects," he said.
Eng. Mohamed Yahya Hakami, executive director, MITEF Saudi Arabia, expressed his pride in the support directed to the competition by SAGIA as well as the official partner "Monshaat".
