Are you a tech startup registered in Jordan looking for expansion in the Saudi market?
Intelaqa is a joint initiative by IBTECAR (Jordan) and Arweqah (Saudi Arabia), which is a grant co-funded by Youth Technology and Jobs (YTJ) and the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, designed to expand qualified Jordanian digital startups to the Saudi market. This initiative blends structured assessments, tailored interventions, curated B2B matchmaking, and investor access—delivered by a cross-border team with on-ground presence in Jordan and KSA.
Project objectives:
- Assess the needs and growth potential of 12 tech start-ups for market expansion in Saudi Arabia.
- Support the development and execution of strategic plans for tech startups to localize offers and convert business development meetings into successful client pilots and partnerships in Saudi Arabia.
- Provide comprehensive investment readiness support to Jordanian tech startups, resulting in warm introductions to potential investors and clients in the Saudi market.
About the project and startup journey:
The startups’ journey will start with a hybrid recruitment campaign, using a transparent scoring system and interviews to select a cohort of 15-20 applicants. From this pool, we’ll work with MoDEE to choose the final 12. Next, a comprehensive 360° needs assessment will be conducted to pinpoint and prioritize startups unique gaps. We’ll then collaboratively design a custom intervention plan, complete with tailored Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and specific work packages to address startups needs. This plan will be executed through focused sprints, curated meetings, pilot programs, and strategic investor engagement. The program culminates with two separate missions to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) to ensure proven business matchmaking and linkages for all participating startups. The first mission aims to secure these connections for at least 50% of the cohort, with the remaining startups finalizing their linkages during the second mission
