AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

SME Finance in Saudi: ABHI’s Early Wage Access product has received Shariah approval from a KSA-based Shariah committee, aiming to let employees access part of earned wages early—an employee-benefit move that could also help businesses manage workforce wellbeing. Oman SME Push: Oman’s SME ecosystem gets a spotlight as the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority backs training, mentoring and incubation, with growth opportunities flagged across tourism, logistics, manufacturing, food processing and renewable energy. Jordan Women’s Gaming Community: Jackaroo King hosted a women-focused “Jordan Princess Championship,” blending in-cafe play with app-based tournament rooms—an example of how small digital platforms can build local community and participation. Israel Defense Supply Chain: BOS secured a ~$2.3m purchase order for supply chain tech for an Israeli defense customer, with deliveries split across 2026 and 2027, adding to a record backlog. Healthcare Tourism in Türkiye: Attelia launched a Health Tour mobile app to coordinate international patients’ journeys end-to-end, from pre-travel plans to post-treatment follow-ups.
