The Chairman of Asharqia Chamber: Success stories of Saudi youth in entrepreneurship are inspiring and worthy of praise and pride
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asharqia Chamber, Badr bin Suleiman Al-Raziza, congratulated the entrepreneurs on World Entrepreneurship Day and said: (Entrepreneurs in the Kingdom in general and the Eastern Region, in particular, are proving by the day that they are responsible. Many entrepreneurial success stories deserve praise and pride. They have made significant development and change in the business world, inspire us all, and ensure that our young people can succeed and achieve goals.)
He pointed out that the Saudi youth dealt positively with the government incentives that were presented to them, as the state, for its part, provided all factors of care and support for entrepreneurs and those wishing to work freely, who live in an unprecedented era in terms of government support and semi-governmental and private programs until the Kingdom topped the list according to the Global Monitor Index. For Entrepreneurship, ranked first in the world in four indicators of entrepreneurship globally.
Al-Raziza said that entrepreneurship is a contributory element and a primary engine of the economy, and the state relies on it a lot, and it comes as one of the most important goals of the vision aimed at diversifying sources of national income, noting that the 2030 vision seeks to raise the contribution of small and medium enterprises in the gross domestic product to 35%, by 2030 AD.
Al-Razizi emphasized the role of the Asharqia Chamber in supporting entrepreneurship, which it considered to be a vital essence of its strategic plans, and has permanently embedded culture of self-employment among the people of the region, by implementing numerous programs, meetings, and workshops targeting young men and women of the area to enable them to achieve success and creativity in their emerging projects. He said: (To meet the need of the entrepreneurial community in the region, the Chamber has established a business incubator aimed at guiding and accelerating the growth and success of emerging ideas, achieving administrative and technical training and guidance, qualifying the project to be accepted by investors, and promoting communication among entrepreneurs.)
