Since its launch in early 2026 under the leadership of Hasan bin Abdullah Jabarti, Madinah Hubs has been building a comprehensive entrepreneurial ecosystem through high-impact programs, strategic partnerships, and specialized initiatives—transforming ideas into ventures, advancing venture capital opportunities, and connecting entrepreneurs with enablers and growth opportunities.
Hasan bin Abdullah Jabarti, Founder of Madinah Hubs, stated:
“Our investment in SBTL is not merely an investment transaction; it is a strategic step toward uniting two ecosystems that believe Al Madinah Al Munawwarah can become a global model for entrepreneurship. What SBTL has built over the past years represents a strong foundation, and our role today is to help expand this impact and accelerate its growth.”
In turn, Eng. Sayed Ahmed Sayed said:
“We view this partnership as the beginning of a new phase of growth and development. Our goal is not only expansion, but building ecosystems capable of creating real and sustainable impact for individuals, organizations, and entrepreneurial ventures.”
This investment represents the first step in Madinah Hubs’ broader vision to establish an investment portfolio targeting high-impact ventures, as part of a long-term strategy to strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem and connect it with investment, enablement, and sustainable growth.
