Registration will remain open until April 29, 2026.
The bootcamp will take place at The Garage in Riyadh from May 3 to 5, 2026. It is designed to support researchers and innovators by providing an enabling environment and equipping them with the tools and skills needed to turn their innovation projects into successful investment-ready ventures.

This bootcamp is part of KACST’s broader efforts to empower research teams and accelerate the transition of research-based innovations into commercially viable products with tangible economic impact in the market. It also contributes to advancing the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 by supporting economic diversification and fostering the growth of deep tech-based enterprises.
