The investment is in line with Alturki Ventures’ existing strategy of supporting and promoting cutting-edge technological innovations and creating sustainable value within the local Saudi market. Through this investment, the Company aims to further strengthen the Kingdom’s digitization efforts and elevate the hospitality and tourism sectors as key areas of focus under the Saudi Vision 2030 development goals. Alturki Ventures’ growing portfolio in the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas comprises several pioneering companies across sectors such as Health Tech, Security Tech, Logistics & Mobility Tech, Education Tech, Fintech, and Entertainment tech among several others.
