26 January 2023

The Social Development Bank, represented by Dulani Business Center, announced the signing of an agreement to transfer the Noura Business platform to be under the center’s umbrella. Which was launched as an initiative on social networking sites (Twitter) in 2015 to educate in the entrepreneurship and emerging projects sector, then it developed into an integrated platform in 2020 that provides ready-made practical models, various blogs, and other digital services that facilitate the entrepreneur’s project development journey, such as the entrepreneur map, the events schedule, and Ask Noura. It is a digital service that allows entrepreneurs to respond to advice regarding developing their projects.

It is worth noting that the transition aims to maximize the success of the platform and reposition it with a new vision to become a comprehensive and supportive guide for self-employed people by offering its services to all beneficiaries of the bank and Dulani Business Center, and to empower the freelancing sector in the Kingdom, raise their educational attainment, develop their skills, and introduce them to the financing programs provided to them.

The transfer was announced at a ceremony to sign the agreement on Wednesday, January 18, 2023, at the headquarters of the Social Development Bank in Riyadh, in the presence of His Excellency the CEO of the Social Development Bank, Mr. Ibrahim Al-Rashed, and the CEO of Muthmar Company, Mr. Ibrahim Al-Zuhaimil.

The initiative complements the efforts of Dulani Business Center as one of the bank’s initiatives to provide qualitative non-financial services such as training, consultation, guidance, guidance and building partnerships, targeting male and female entrepreneurs who own small and micro enterprises to help them establish and sustain their projects on modern scientific, technical and administrative foundations.
