About the EY Startup Academy challenge

The EY Startup Academy is a part of our commitment to support the startup ecosystem and founders in their journey, from idea to exit.

And this year, we’re proposing the “Women in GovTech” theme for the program, as it is a mutual area of focus for EY and the MCIT ecosystem in diversity and inclusiveness.

The EY Startup Academy is a six-week program in which selected startups are given the unique opportunity to improve their business models and its main components through structured help and advice from EY experts. This version of the program, in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) and the Saudi Digital Academy (SDA), is aimed at female GovTech entrepreneurs in KSA. They will work closely with EY and its collaborators to acquire essential skills in management, receive professional advice and learn what investors focus on.

Be part of a movement to build a more sustainable future. Register to join the EY Startup Academy in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to help solve some of the world’s most pressing issues.

About EY Ripples

At EY, we’re using our skills, knowledge and experience to address some of the biggest social challenges of our time. Faced with the urgent and interconnected challenges of climate change and social inequality, we believe businesses must go further, faster, to build a better working world — one that is socially just, economically inclusive and environmentally regenerative by design.

Launched in 2018, with the ambition to positively impact one billion lives by 2030, the EY Ripples program embodies our quest to lead EY people and networks in accelerating progress toward the SDGs. Together with clients and other like-minded organizations, EY people use their distinctive skills, knowledge and experience to bring positive change across three focus areas: supporting the next generation workforce, working with impact entrepreneurs and accelerating environmental sustainability. These are the areas where we believe our combined capabilities can make the biggest impact — where each ripple we start has the potential to grow and join with others to create waves of change.
