Impact Hub Riyadh leaves the Network

After a meaningful period of collaboration, we are saddened to see Impact Hub Riyadh conclude its membership journey with the Impact Hub Network. The local team has chosen to step into a new chapter, building on the experience, partnerships and shared learning gained through the global community. As part of this transition, Impact Hub Riyadh will evolve into 1932Hub, a name rooted in the national legacy of King Abdulaziz and aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

Throughout its time in the Network, Impact Hub Riyadh contributed to strengthening entrepreneurship, social innovation and ecosystem development in the Kingdom and the wider region. The team remained deeply engaged in global exchange and translocal collaboration, with an aspiration to further connect Saudi Arabia to the wider Impact Hub community - including exploring the opportunity to host a future Global Gathering in Riyadh, an emerging centre for innovation and dialogue.

Within the broader growth of the Impact Hub Network - now connecting over 500,000 Impact Makers across 120+ locations worldwide - Impact Hub Riyadh played an important role in advancing innovation in the region. By building relationships across public and private sector stakeholders, supporting entrepreneurs, and fostering dialogue around sustainable development, the team contributed to enabling impact-driven initiatives aligned with national and regional priorities.

As 1932Hub, the team will continue to operate within the local ecosystem, maintaining strong relationships with key decision-makers and stakeholders. They remain open to collaboration, particularly with Impact Hub communities and members interested in exploring or entering the Saudi market. The team can be reached at [email protected].

On behalf of the Impact Hub Network, we thank Impact Hub Riyadh for their collaboration and contribution over the years. Saudi Arabia plays an increasingly important role in regional innovation and entrepreneurship, with strong potential for social innovation initiatives aligned with Vision 2030. We warmly invite future (co)founders who are interested in establishing a new Impact Hub in Riyadh to consider joining the Impact Hub Network. If you are a prospective Founder and would like to explore this opportunity, please contact [email protected].
