Wider Consulting 

Wider Consulting, a joint Egyptian-Saudi advisory firm, is targeting around USD 14.3 million (EGP 750M) in investments over the next four years. The firm will focus on healthcare, software, education, entrepreneurship enablement, and PropTech and construction technology solutions.

The company plans to launch a startup accelerator, aiming to establish 50 startups in both markets by the end of 2026. The program will identify innovative ideas and connect founders with international investors to leverage investment incentives in Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

Founded in mid-2025 by Omar Hamdy, Wider Consulting provides consulting services and governance frameworks for institutions. The firm currently operates in six markets, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, Germany, and Australia.

That footprint gives Wider Consulting access not only to major economic hubs but also to established academic ecosystems, particularly across the Arab world. The firm aims to connect promising founders with investors from multiple countries, leveraging available investment incentives in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. By bridging research and innovation, it aims to transform academic ideas into tangible economic outcomes across the region.

Entrepreneurship

Wider also seeks to forge partnerships with venture capital legal entities in Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, it maintains collaborations with universities such as Al-Hussein Technical University in Jordan and the University of Sydney. The company currently incubates three startups from Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.

The firm views Egypt as a strategic opportunity. This is due to its strong academic ecosystem and rising demand for Arabic-language technology solutions.

Looking ahead, Wider Consulting plans to list 15% to 40% of some portfolio companies on the stock market, depending on their maturity and market conditions. The firm will retain controlling stakes in selected ventures to ensure long-term strategic alignment.

With its multi-market approach and focus on early-stage innovation, Wider Consulting aims to connect startups, investors, and regional growth opportunities.
