The Public Investment Fund (PIF) has launched its Industrial Business Accelerator Program, offering a significant opportunity for startups operating in the manufacturing and hardware sectors. This initiative is designed to support early-stage industrial ventures in developing competitive, innovative products and services, while accelerating their growth within Saudi Arabia’s industrial landscape.

The accelerator aims to provide a comprehensive support system for selected startups, including training and mentorship, direct engagement with decision-makers across PIF subsidiaries, networking opportunities with industry leaders, and guidance in securing financing. Through this program, PIF intends to strengthen the Kingdom’s industrial ecosystem in alignment with Vision 2030, by enabling the private sector to play a central role in national development.

The program focuses on key sectors within manufacturing such as automotive, electronics, consumer goods, industrial equipment, chemicals, and textiles. To qualify, applicants must hold a valid industrial license and operate at least one manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia. Additional eligibility requirements include having a minimum workforce of six employees, an annual revenue of at least 3 million SAR in the last fiscal year, the ability to commit to the full six-month program, and English language proficiency.

By creating this platform, PIF is not only supporting local innovation but also fostering collaboration between emerging industrial players and established stakeholders. The accelerator offers a unique avenue for startups to gain visibility, scale operations, and contribute meaningfully to Saudi Arabia’s industrial ambitions.

Applications are now open and interested startups can apply via the official link: https://lnkd.in/di3RdSm3. For ongoing updates, resources, and opportunities in the startup ecosystem, entrepreneurs can also join the dedicated WhatsApp group: https://lnkd.in/dTAicVie.

This accelerator marks a significant step toward industrial innovation in the region, encouraging startups to become key contributors to the Kingdom’s transformation into a globally competitive manufacturing hub.
