Monsha’at has announced that over 45 financing and investment institutions will participate in Biban Forum 2025
The Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority (Monsha’at) has confirmed the participation of more than 45 government and private sector financial entities at Biban Forum 2025, scheduled to be held from 5 to 8 November at the Riyadh Front Exhibition and Convention Center.
This year’s forum will feature a dedicated “Funding and Investment Door”, designed to provide comprehensive financial solutions to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), as well as emerging entrepreneurs across diverse sectors.
Participating institutions will offer a wide array of exclusive financing packages, investment opportunities, and consultative services. Visitors will also benefit from specialised workshops and the chance to interact directly with venture capitalists, banks, and investment funds.
A highlight of the forum will be the Biban Pitching Stage, where startups can present their projects to an audience of investors, mentors, and industry experts, facilitating real-time feedback and potential funding deals.
The initiative is part of Monsha’at’s broader strategy to:
- Diversify funding sources available to entrepreneurs
- Stimulate Saudi Arabia’s venture capital ecosystem
- Enhance the role of banks and alternative finance platforms in the entrepreneurial journey
- Support the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goals by reinforcing its global standing as a hub for innovation and investment
This year’s forum will also spotlight modern fintech platforms, including debt-based crowdfunding, invoice financing, purchase financing, and project-based funding models, all aimed at increasing access to capital for SMEs.
