He noted that this milestone reflects the Kingdom's growing position in supporting the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, praising the strong alignment between the organization's goals and Saudi Vision 2030 in building a prosperous economy based on innovation and empowering national talent.
Balle said: "We are very proud of this achievement by the Asharqia Chamber Incubator, which embodies the scale of efforts made to support and empower entrepreneurs and startups in the Kingdom.
