Nuqwa Holding Story
Our Story
Nuqwa began as a conversation in early 2018 between circle of emptions Expertise who shared one conviction: Saudi Arabia’s next wave of growth would be unlocked by marrying deep local compliance with world-class digital experiences.
- The first spark came from the art community. Artists struggled to sell works online without losing control of their IP, so we built Nuqwa App, a secure, Arabic-first platform that let creators mint, list and get paid in days rather than months.
- Operators soon knocked on the door. Restaurateurs and retailers were racing to meet ZATCA e-invoice rules. From hack-night prototypes in a Riyadh coworking space, Nuqwa Tech evolved into a certified cloud-POS and IoT suite now trusted by outlets across the Kingdom.
- The missing piece: founders abroad kept asking “Can you also help us enter Saudi?” In mid-2025 we launched Nuqwa Start to convert our hard-won licensing and incentive know-how into a turnkey concierge for startups and SMEs.
Our Team
A six-person core unites every skill Saudi market entry demands. A veteran technologist decodes regulations and sets strategy; a commercial strategist turns that vision into revenue plans; a cloud engineer builds licence-ready systems that never blink; a senior architect from major government platforms ensures security and data compliance; a PR specialist shapes a trusted public voice; and an engagement advisor guides clients through visas, MISA filings, and incentive bids. Together they turn Saudi red tape into a launch runway for ambitious startups
Today Nuqwa Holding unites these three engines under one vision: empowering creativity, commerce and compliant growth for the Kingdom’s innovation economy
