COLABS has announced its expansion to Saudi Arabia, marking a major milestone in its mission to create environments that enable people and companies to thrive. The Lahore-based coworking and community platform is partnering with Waseel Partners Investments to establish its first location in Riyadh, extending its reach beyond Pakistan and strengthening its regional footprint in the Middle East.
Since its inception, COLABS has positioned itself as a hub for entrepreneurs, startups, and global teams, offering spaces designed to inspire productivity and collaboration. Over the years, it has evolved from a shared workspace concept into a thriving ecosystem where ideas grow into businesses. The company’s model emphasizes fostering meaningful connections within its community, allowing members to collaborate, exchange ideas, and find new opportunities. With this expansion into Saudi Arabia, COLABS aims to replicate this success and contribute to the country’s rapidly evolving innovation landscape.
The decision to enter the Saudi market aligns with Riyadh’s emergence as a leading destination for technology startups and global investors. Supported by strong government initiatives and growing investor confidence, the Kingdom has become a hub for entrepreneurship and innovation across the region. Through its partnership with Waseel Partners Investments, COLABS plans to introduce a new coworking environment in Riyadh that will serve as a bridge between Pakistan and the Gulf’s innovation ecosystems. The company expressed gratitude to its early backers, including Shorooq Partners, whose continued support has been instrumental in enabling this regional expansion.
The new space in Riyadh represents more than just a physical expansion; it marks the start of a broader network connecting founders, creatives, and businesses across borders. COLABS envisions this network as a platform for regional collaboration, where professionals from diverse backgrounds can share expertise, resources, and ideas that drive sustainable growth.
