The Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority “Monsha’at” revealed the participation of more than 45 financing and investment entities from the government and private sectors in the Biban 2025 forum, which the authority organizes from November 5 to 8 at Riyadh Front Exhibition and Conference Center under the theme A Global Destination for Opportunities.
The participating financing entities will offer integrated financing and investment solutions within the forum’s Funding and Investment Door, targeting micro, small, and medium enterprises and entrepreneurs across various sectors.
The Funding and Investment Door aims to diversify the sources of financial support, stimulate the venture capital sector, and strengthen the contribution of banks, financing companies, and investment funds to financing startups, keeping pace with the rapid growth of the entrepreneurship sector in the Kingdom and strengthening its position as a global investment destination.
The Door offers its visitors a wide range of quality opportunities, including exclusive offers on financing products, specialized workshops held over four days, and investment opportunities through the Investors Arena. It also gives startups the opportunity to present their projects on an open platform before a group of investors, advisors, and experts, in addition to potential partners, through the BIBAN Pitching Stage.
Through the Funding and Investment Door, the forum also offers consultation sessions with experts in the fields of financing and investment, and provides integrated financing solutions including invoice financing, purchase financing, point-of-sale financing, expansion financing, fleet financing, project financing, and contract financing.
The Door features the participation of development funds and banks, financing companies, fintech platforms, and crowdfunding platforms, giving entrepreneurs the opportunity to learn about the latest products and solutions and to connect directly with investment entities.
The objectives of the Funding and Investment Door focus on facilitating SMEs’ access to financing and lending opportunities, increasing expansion opportunities for local and international entrepreneurs and investors, and strengthening the use of modern fintech platforms as an enabling tool for debt crowdfunding, as well as introducing fintech financial intermediation platforms.
The Funding and Investment Door at Biban 2025 embodies Monsha’at’s commitment to strengthening the entrepreneurship environment in the Kingdom and expanding the scope of support to cover all stages of growth, from establishment to expansion, through a strategic partnership with the public and private sectors, contributing to achieving the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
