About Biban

Biban Forum 2025 is one of the most prominent events in the entrepreneurship sector. It is considered an extension of previous editions with an expanded and global approach to empower the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Kingdom and support both local and international entrepreneurs. It is achieved through seven main doors that cover entrepreneurship, innovation, and investment, contributing to the provision of effective solutions and quality opportunities for growth and expansion.

Biban Forum 2025 contributed to creating a stimulating environment and enhancing administrative, financial, and technical competencies, encouraging idea owners to launch their projects and meet with local and global experts to exchange knowledge and enrich information among decision-makers, investors, and entrepreneurs—thereby strengthening the sector, promoting a culture of innovation, and facilitating entry into the business world.

The forum was held in Saudi Arabia, capitalizing on its economic and logistical advantages, legislative facilitations, and a strong entrepreneurial environment that supports exceptional ideas both locally and globally—cementing its position as a global hub for entrepreneurial investment opportunities.

Biban Forum 2025 discussed topics and ideas related to entrepreneurship, e-commerce, franchising, investment opportunities, startups, and innovation. It also offered workshops, courses, consultation sessions, mentoring, and specialized programs to boost business efficiency and enhance the impact of enterprises on the national economy.

The forum gathered enablers, supporters, and investors from around the world under one roof to facilitate access to funding and support the growth of small and medium enterprises and entrepreneurship.
