Saudi Arabia is preparing to host the Biban 24 forum, organized by the Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority ("Monsha'at"), at the Riyadh Front Exhibition and Conference Center from November 5 to 9. Held under the theme "A Global Destination for Opportunities," the forum brings together more than 40 government and private entities to offer a wide range of services and initiatives designed to support entrepreneurs and small and medium business owners.

The "Empowerment Gate" is one of the forum's main pillars, giving entrepreneurs access to services offered by enabling and supportive bodies, helping to spur business growth and encourage aspiring entrepreneurs to launch their ventures. The Empowerment Gate brings together entities from across the government, private and non-profit sectors to provide comprehensive, direct services to entrepreneurs, alongside the opportunity to register for various initiatives.

Entities taking part in the Empowerment Gate include prominent institutions such as the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Transport and Logistic Services, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture, the Human Resources Development Fund ("Hadaf"), the Saudi Business Center, the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority, as well as the National Technology Development Program and the Local Content and Government Procurement Authority.

Biban 24 seeks to strengthen the Kingdom's standing as a global hub for entrepreneurship, providing a dynamic platform that encourages international cooperation in entrepreneurship and support for small and medium enterprises. By bringing together leading government and private entities, the forum aims to enable entrepreneurs to capitalize on available opportunities and boost their success in local and global markets.
