Applications for the 2022 cohort of the TAQADAM Startup Accelerator, a Saudi Arabia-based startup accelerator program that aims to develop high-potential startups, will be open until May 21, 2022.

Local and regional startups hailing from any sector and belonging to all business stages, as well as international applicants who are looking to expand into the MENA region, can apply for the program here.

Having supported over 130 startups since its inception, the TAQADAM Startup Accelerator is located at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and organized in partnership with Saudi British Bank (SABB).
