Entrepreneurship Center

"This learning experience was one of the best I have ever had; it was not just another teaching course. It was real, to the point, and made us redefine our path in a clearer way." – Mustafa Nabulsi, KAUST graduate and Entrepreneur

The KAUST Entrepreneurship Center offers incubation support and advisory services for entrepreneurs who are transitioning their innovative "big idea" into a commercial entity. For qualified teams, the Center offers assistance through VentureLab; coaching and mentoring programs; outreach activities such as the MENA and Global speaker series; partnering with domestic and international entrepreneurship centers and other organized services.

Our mission is to empower and educate entrepreneurs to build new businesses, to create new high-value jobs, and to enable KAUST to become a catalyst for entrepreneurship initiatives in Saudi Arabia and MENA by putting together ideas, technologies, people, and funding.
