The NAWAT platform is one of Dar Al Uloom University’s initiatives to promote entrepreneurial culture and innovation among university students across the Kingdom through three awareness and practical programs:

First Program: Entrepreneurship Skills Development

Promoting entrepreneurship skills among students and equipping them with the skills to evaluate investment opportunities, create a business model, and develop a business plan through workshops and short videos. Additionally, this program helps students prepare for the job market and manage their projects efficiently.

Second Program: Entrepreneurship Supporters

Establishing relationships with organizations that support Saudi entrepreneurs’ projects. As part of this program, students are provided with advisory and financing solutions, capacity development and training, and incentives and opportunities to obtain contracts and establish partnerships. Regional and local supporting parties also provide a nurturing work environment that supports and enhances the performance of innovative projects and startups.

Program Three: NAWAT Competition

DAU’s College of Business Administration hosts an annual entrepreneurship competition. The competition is open to both male and female students from all Saudi universities. Applicants present entrepreneurial and creative ideas across all sectors, in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
