Riyadh - Exclusive Sharikat Mubasher:  Bus14, a Cairo-based on-demand transportation platform, participated in Biban 2025 to introduce its services to investors and explore partnership opportunities to expand into the Saudi market, Founder and CEO Mohamed Bakeir told Sharikat Mubasher on the sidelines of the forum.

Bakeir noted that participating in Biban 2025 marks a significant milestone in Bus14’s journey, as the forum serves as a leading gathering for entrepreneurs and investors to forge strategic partnerships and attract new investments.

Founded in 2022, Bus14 is an online platform specializing in automating transportation services for school and university students, offering smart and secure solutions that reshape the school transportation ecosystem in both Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

Bakeir highlighted that Bus14 started operations in Saudi Arabia seven months ago, supported by Sanabil Accelerator by Orbit and The Garage.

Biban 2025 took place in Riyadh from 5 to 8 November, gathering startup founders, investors, global CEOs, policymakers, and thought leaders. It welcomed over 200 local and global speakers and 1,000 exhibitors from 150 countries to spark strategic partnerships, unveil new agreements, and create financing, training, and advisory solutions to accelerate the growth of startups and SMEs.

It featured seven doors designed to meet the needs of entrepreneurs and SME owners, enabling them to expand and achieve sustainability. The doors are the Enablement Door, the Funding and Investment Door, the E-commerce Door, the Franchise Doorthe Startup Door, the Fast-growing Enterprises Door, and the Market Door.
