Back/Track sections 01 · Freight · Supply chain · Mobility
Three continents. One corridor. Your product in the middle of it.
The Kingdom is investing an estimated SAR 500 billion to become the logistics hub between Asia, Europe and Africa. The ports, rail and zones are being poured. The software, data and operating models that will run them are still being written. That is the opening.
A national strategy with a deadline
The National Transport & Logistics Strategy, launched by the Crown Prince in 2021, turned logistics from a cost centre into one of Vision 2030's headline sectors. Every number below is a purchase order waiting for a supplier.
What we back
Seven sub-domains where a small team can win a national contract.
Freight & fleet tech
Transport management, digital freight matching and load optimisation for the trucking backbone.
Last-mile & fulfilment
E-commerce delivery, micro-fulfilment and dark-store tech for 36M+ consumers.
Warehouse automation
Robotics, WMS and computer vision for the 59 logistics zones.
Cold chain & pilgrim supply
Temperature-controlled logistics for food, pharma and Hajj / Umrah volumes.
Customs & trade documents
Digital clearance and cross-border paperwork integrated with Fasah and ZATCA.
Multimodal & rail data
Visibility platforms that stitch port, rail and road as SAR expands.
Green logistics
EV fleets and emissions routing against the Kingdom's 25% fuel-reduction target.
The Beyond program for logistics founders
Three phases, one building. Founders enter at the phase that matches their stage and move to the next without reapplying.
Weeks 1–12
- Problem validation with group logistics and supply-chain teams
- Prototype build with dedicated workspace in Riyadh
- Founder curriculum: unit economics, Saudi licensing, tendering
Months 3–9
- Paid pilot on a live flow inside an AlWahdah company
- R&D lab validation of your model or hardware
- Direct mentorship from operators, not just advisors
Month 9 onward
- Investor showcase to VCs, family offices and corporates
- National roll-out plan across ports, zones and 3PLs
- Reference customer and case study in hand
Your pilot site is already in the group
AlWahdah's industrial and services companies move goods every day — inbound materials, outbound distribution, fleets. Logistics startups run their first pilot on real flows and leave with a reference customer, not a certificate.
R&D lab
Most accelerators mentor. We test. Our applied research lab works with founders to prove the technology before an investor asks the hard question.
Route & fleet optimisation
Applied machine learning on real dispatch and delivery data from group operations.
IoT & telemetry
Sensor, cold-chain and asset-tracking validation in live warehouses.
Digital trade documents
Interoperability testing against Saudi customs and e-invoicing standards.
Autonomy readiness
Feasibility studies for drones, AGVs and autonomous yard vehicles.
Why Riyadh
Central node. Riyadh sits on the Kingdom's north–south and east–west corridors, between Jeddah Islamic Port and King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam.
Decision makers. The Ministry of Transport & Logistics, Mawani, SAR, ZATCA and GACA are minutes from our door.
Capital. Saudi Arabia was MENA's #1 VC market in 2025 with $1.72B invested — most of it decided in Riyadh.
Demand. The Riyadh region is the largest consumption market and fastest-growing e-commerce base in the Kingdom.
“Our ambition is for the long term. It goes beyond replenishing sources of income that have weakened or preserving what we have already achieved. We are determined to build a thriving country in which all citizens can fulfil their dreams and ambitions.”
