The Garage has concluded Disrupt, the closing event for the tenth cohort of its accelerator, held at its headquarters in Riyadh to celebrate the graduation of 20 startups that presented their technology projects to innovators and investors.

The accelerator is aimed at established startups that are already generating sales. It tackles the obstacles holding back their expansion, with the goal of multiplying their growth and strengthening their market presence.

During the programme, the companies received a package of benefits including workshops and mentoring sessions led by experts from leading international organisations, as well as access to a network of investors and strategic partners. The journey ended with pitches in which each startup gave a full overview of its product or technical solution, alongside an exhibition and networking sessions where attendees could meet the founders directly and build partnerships.

The Garage's chief executive, Abdulaziz Al-Hammadi, said the graduation of the tenth cohort reflects the maturity of the experience and its lasting impact on established startups, adding that the solutions presented show the vitality of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. He said The Garage will keep empowering entrepreneurs and connecting them with investors and partners.

Since its launch, The Garage has helped prepare a large number of startups, enabling them to secure funding and expand, in support of Saudi Vision 2030 goals for the technology sector and the digital economy.
