Today marked the first day of the Global Health Exhibition 2025 and Vibe 2025 in Riyadh, and what an inspiring start it’s been.
We had the opportunity to meet and interact with key representatives from the Ministry of Investment, the Ministry of Startups, and the Premium Residency Program, among many others. These conversations offered valuable insights into the evolving Saudi startup ecosystem, especially within the health and wellness sector.
It was fascinating to see the growing momentum around innovation in healthcare, as well as how international players are beginning to collaborate and contribute to the Kingdom’s ambitious health and digital transformation goals.
As we shared the vision behind Kalorist – an AI-powered personal nutrition and wellness platform designed to make evidence-based health guidance accessible to everyone – the response was overwhelmingly positive. Many were excited to explore how Kalorist could integrate into the Saudi market and empower individuals to take charge of their health.
There’s a massive opportunity here to build meaningful partnerships, learn from the thriving local ecosystem, and create an impact that extends beyond borders.
Stay tuned… we’ll be sharing more updates from the next few days of the Global Health Exhibition 2025, along with reflections, insights, and opportunities we uncover along the way.
