Riyadh to Host Final Rounds of Global Entrepreneurship World Cup

Entrepreneurs from around the world are drawn to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as the city is gearing up to host the final rounds of the Entrepreneurship World Cup (EWC), a major pitch competition taking place during the Biban Forum 24.

With participants from 151 countries, startups will vie for a chance to win $1,000,000 in cash prizes and access to crucial capital, networking opportunities, mentorship, and ideas. The event will take place from November 5th to 9th, 2024, and is expected to showcase the innovation and creativity of future business leaders. 

The EWC, established in 2019 by the Global Entrepreneurship Network and Saudi Arabia's Misk Foundation, has already seen over 400,000 entrepreneurs competing for diverse financial rewards and growth prospects. Last year, a Saudi startup, WhiteHelmet, made history by winning the EWC grand prize of $300,000.
