🌟 Event Recap: Insights on Saudi Arabian Startup Ecosystem + Exciting News! 🌟 SparkLabs Taiwan and Business Next Media Corp. 巨思媒體集團 co-hosted an insightful session on the Saudi market. The event featured a keynote by Bodin Scepanovic , Partner at SparkLabs Saudi Arabia, and Sohail Alangari , Principal at SparkLabs Saudi Arabia, along with firsthand experiences from a government representative from TAITRA Global (Taiwan External Trade Development Council) , startup DXhero , and a senior journalist from 商周集團Business Weekly Group . Together, we uncovered key strategies for success: 1. Face-to-Face Matters 🤝 Speakers highlighted that face-to-face meetings are essential for success in Saudi Arabia's flexible business culture, where building trust is key. Unlike rigid agendas, engagements are more fluid, making personal connections vital. The best time for focused business discussions is during the low season in July and August, when partners are more attentive and available. 2. Local Connection Opening the Door of Opportunity ✨ Entering the Saudi market? Don’t go it alone. Bodin has highlighted the importance of having a local guide to navigate networks and build relationships. Cold outreach might not be enough; find someone who can help you integrate and verify whether these are qualified leads. 3. Don’t be Impatient. It’s about Relationship Building 🧑🤝🧑 One common mistake foreign founders make is "talking to local people as if they are dollar signs, not humans." In Saudi Arabia, building relationships takes time. It’s relationships first, then business. Bodin even mentioned that one of his top pieces of advice for founders interested in the Saudi market is to buy a one-way ticket to Saudi Arabia to truly blend into the local culture. From November 4-7, SparkLabs Taiwan will lead Taiwanese startups on an exciting journey to Saudi Arabia to connect with key players in the ecosystem and participate in a startup forum. Join us on this trip to take the first step in building valuable relationships in the Middle East! 🚀 For more information, please send a direct message or email to SparkLabs Taiwan ( info@sparklabstaiwan.com ).
