💭How do start-ups become investment-ready?

This week, UN Trade and Development and Empretec Saudi Arabia delivered an Empretec Crash Course on Fundraising for 114 technology start-up founders participating in the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP) 1KMILE Program.

Over several intensive sessions, founders explored key topics including ➡️fundraising strategies, ➡️investor expectations, ➡️valuation, ➡️financial planning, ➡️investment readiness, and ➡️effective pitching.

What stood out most was the quality of the discussions. Entrepreneurs were not only asking how to raise capital, but also how to build scalable businesses, attract the right partners, and position themselves for sustainable growth.

The training is part of a broader journey that will culminate in upcoming Demo Days, where participants will have the opportunity to present their ventures and engage with potential investors.

A great example of collaboration between UNCTAD, Empretec Saudi Arabia and NIDLP to strengthen the next generation of innovative entrepreneurs.

🗓 Tuesday, 21 April 2026
⏰ 10:00 – 11:15 EDT

Trade, investment, and entrepreneurship only work when they connect at the firm level.

At the Financing for Development Follow-up in New York, UN Trade and Development and International Organisation of Employers bring together public and private sector leaders to focus on one question: how do we move from commitments to ex*****on?

Too often, strong policy frameworks exist, but firms still struggle to access finance, enter value chains, and scale. The gap is not ambition. It is delivery.

This roundtable will focus on:
▶️ what makes policy coherence work in practice
▶️ how to support SMEs to scale into global markets
▶️ how to shift public–private collaboration from consultation to co-design
