BRIDGE Initiative

The BRIDGE Initiative is one of six initiatives launched by the National Information Technology Development Program during the second edition of the Global Tech Conference 'LEAP 2023', held from February 6-9, 2023, in Riyadh City, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Organized by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and the Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming, and Drones (SAFCSP), the initiative aims to support tech startups in expanding internationally outside the Kingdom, providing their services or products to increase export rates and generate profits from other countries.

The initiative provides financial support to fast-growing tech companies, enabling them to access a network of specialized mentors and advisors to help expand their businesses and reach global markets.

It supports small, medium, and large fast-growth tech companies in expanding internationally, increasing tech exports, enhancing their readiness for expansion, and opening opportunities for accessing global markets.

The program offers several services through the initiative, including: advisory support from export experts, support for business establishment in global markets, support for mergers and acquisitions, marketing support for new business activities, product development support for export purposes, and assistance with product testing with potential customers in global markets.
