RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Literature, Publishing and Translation Commission will honor 10 successful startups at the closing ceremony of the Children and Adolescents’ Literature Accelerator in Riyadh on Sept. 11.

The commission launched the accelerator to support startups’ development of the writing, drawing, storytelling and literary skills of children and adolescents.

It said the accelerator had provided participants with benefits such as a stimulating work environment for entrepreneurs; entrepreneurial success story sessions; guidance and training; group learning sessions; and access to experts specialized in developing startups.

The initiative has also provided financial grants to accelerate the growth of startups, and follow-up and development sessions to enable them to reach a wide network of investors.

The aim is to create investment opportunities for entrepreneurs in the field.

The program also seeks to create job opportunities for young Saudis and find innovative solutions to any challenges they face.

There will also be an exhibition on the sidelines of the closing ceremony to showcase the startups’ work.

This is aimed at graduates, their families, investors and others interested in such work.
