Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (Saudi Arabia)

Supports Saudi digital economy, communications infrastructure, technology entrepreneurship, and information technology sector development.

The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology is Saudi Arabia's national digital-policy ministry. It owns the Kingdom's ICT strategy and steers the ecosystem around CODE, Future Skills, NTDP, Tuwaiq Academy, SDAIA, and the communications regulators that shape the market.

Its support reaches entrepreneurship, digital skills, and technology-market development rather than a single grant line. Through CODE it runs founder programs such as Multiverse Tech Founders and Saudi Game Champions, and the founder track is free, non-equity, and aimed at early teams that can meet committee review and full-time participation requirements. Through Tuwaiq Academy and NTDP it backs AI bootcamps and broader startup support, while Future Skills carries the ministry's training work.

The strategy targets attached to the ministry include expanding the ICT sector by 50 percent, adding SAR 50 billion to GDP, and lifting workforce localization to 50 percent. Applicants fit best when they are Saudi-based founders, early-stage teams, or training partners that can plug into the ministry's delivery arms rather than approach the ministry as a conventional grantmaker.
