He added that by doing so, Badir can accomplish its ultimate objective of creating and sustaining an entrepreneurial environment in the country.

Meanwhile, Vice President of STC stated that the deal was an integral part of STC’s broader goal of supporting and empowering young Saudi entrepreneurs while reducing their operational costs.
