The Sovereign Bet on Founders: Building Innovation Hubs That Endure for Generations

A conversation about what it takes to build innovation hubs that endure for generations, not just for a funding cycle. HRH unpacks the long-term vision behind Saudi Arabia's entrepreneurship strategy: the policy architecture, the capital design decisions, and the 20-year horizon that most observers still underestimate. From there, the conversation opens up to a bigger question: what does it take to turn a national innovation hub into a global platform, one that connects founders, capital, talent, and ideas at scale? HRH speaks as the person who has shaped the G20 entrepreneurship agenda from the inside, not as a supporter of the ecosystem, but as one of its architects, and as someone building toward the future of globally connected entrepreneurship.
