About the role
Who We Are, AstroLabs, the Gulf's Leading Business Expansion Platform
AstroLabs is the largest business expansion platform in Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf's leading platform for high-growth companies expanding into the Saudi and UAE markets. We work alongside government entities and private-sector partners to develop key sectors in the Kingdom, offering business setup, co-working, recruitment, and bespoke programs tailored to the industries we serve.
Over the last decade, we've enabled more than 1,500 global ventures to set up and grow in the Gulf, partnering with organizations including MCIT, Riyad Bank, the Royal Commission for AlUla, and Majid Al Futtaim to drive innovation across their sectors.
