BIBAN 2026
About the event
BIBAN 2026 is Saudi Arabia’s national entrepreneurship forum, held in Riyadh at the Riyadh Exhibition & Convention Center in Malham. Organized by Monsha\'at, BIBAN combines pitching competitions, SME support clinics, investor meetings, and government-service booths for founders scaling in the Kingdom.
The forum suits early-stage startups validating product-market fit, corporates running open-innovation programs, and international accelerators seeking Saudi LPs or pilot customers. Free public access and high founder density make it a flagship touchpoint in the local startup calendar.
Founder and investor ecosystem
Workshops cover fundraising, go-to-market, employment rules, and regulatory basics. Angels, VCs, and corporate venture units hold office hours alongside Monsha\'at partners. Founders should read Company Incorporation Guide, explore Finance & Fintech and Technology sector, and plan tax setup with MISA and ZATCA where applicable.
How to prepare
Refine a one-minute pitch, book mentoring slots early, and target sector-themed pitch tracks. Corporate attendees should define pilot criteria and procurement paths before scouting startups. More business-setup resources live in the Motaded Library and Events directory.
