WHO WE ARE?

The MBSC Venture Lab is a licensed incubator, accelerator and coworking space located in King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) – uniquely positioned in the only higher education institute in Saudi Arabia solely dedicated to entrepreneurship.
MBSC has been established through strong ties and partnerships with international and local players in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, including Babson Global (a wholly owned subsidiary of Babson College, the #1 ranking college in entrepreneurship for 24 consecutive years), MISK Foundation, and Lockheed Martin.
We act as an entrepreneurship launchpad, supporting local and international entrepreneurs from within MBSC and the community at large to initiate, launch and grow their businesses successfully.
