Abdullah Alshammrani

As a General Manager of the Digital Entrepreneurship Center at MCIT. I am a passionate advocate for supporting startups, particularly those that address humanitarian challenges, by providing them with the resources, tools, and guidance they need to sustain and contribute to the growth of the digital sector. I work toward accelerating the growth of the digital economy and entrepreneurship ecosystem in Saudi Arabia, supporting entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey. I have been creating an enabling environment for digital entrepreneurship and oversaw the development and execution of 50+ programs and services across 8 innovation labs. Through my experience, I understand that reducing the rate of failure for startups is a primary challenge. Therefore, I am committed to helping startups overcome this challenge and drive innovation in the sector. With over a decade of experience managing multiple projects and programs, including the development of one of the largest innovation center networks in MENA, I am confident in my ability to create value in the startup ecosystem in order to contribute to the growth of the kingdom's economy.
