VC-BootCamp / Silicon Valley

Connecting Silicon Valley to Africa. From March 10 - 12, 2025. We will gather innovation leaders and investors from Africa and Silicon Valley at Stanford GSB, UC Berkeley and Skydeck. During this three-day event: Participants can attend a Scale-Up Pitch Competition: American Scale-up companies interested in expanding to Saudi Arabia, and looking for partners and investors. We will be engaging discussions for the creation of a Collaborative Tech Center in Silicon Valley to enable Saudi Arabian entrepreneurs to come in the Bay Area and learn, experiment, verify their assumptions, and even get funded by local VCs. We will also advocate for the co-creation of an online tech entrepreneurship program with Stanford Science and Engineering department. This is a unique opportunity to build strong ties and positively support the Kingdom’s thriving innovation ecosystem.
