The Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority “Monsha’at”, in partnership with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, concluded Cooperative Sector Week, held from July 6 to 10, 2025, across several SME support centers in various regions of the Kingdom. The event saw strong participation from entrepreneurs interested in the cooperative sector.

A key highlight of the week was the launch of the “Cooperative Societies Guide,” developed in collaboration with the Ministry. More than 729 participants attended the entrepreneurship-focused sessions, which included workshops and introductory talks that highlighted growth opportunities within the cooperative sector, outlined the steps for establishing cooperative societies, and showcased real-life success stories and experiences.

Monsha’at also provided a supportive environment for attendees by offering over 450 one-on-one advisory sessions across all support centers, aiming to encourage cooperative ventures and promote expansion within the sector.

This initiative is part of Monsha’at’s ongoing efforts to foster a culture of cooperative entrepreneurship and to enable entrepreneurs to tap into the promising potential of this sector aligned with Saudi Vision 2030’s goals of building a diverse and sustainable economy.
