Last year, the EWC Global Finals were held at Biban Forum 23, with 100 innovative startups from 53 countries going head-to-head. The competition marked a significant milestone for Saudi entrepreneurship, as WhiteHelmet — a homegrown company — was announced as the first-ever Saudi startup to win the EWC grand prize, taking home $300,000.
