Netaj launches Nawat: Iraq's first venture capital studio empowering the next generation of founders
Baghdad, Iraq – Netaj, Iraq's leading innovation and entrepreneurship platform, proudly announces the official launch of Nawat, the country's first-ever Venture Capital (VC) Studio, marking a milestone in Iraq's evolving startup ecosystem. Nawat, Netaj's VC Studio, is designed to identify, support, and invest in high-potential Iraqi startups through a tailored 6-month journey that combines mentorship, product development, market access, and funding readiness. 'Nawat is a movement to reimagine how startups are built and backed in Iraq,' said Wissam Mattout, CEO of Netaj. 'We are bridging the gap between raw talent and structured capital, offering founders a launchpad to scale both locally and globally.' 'For too long, Iraqi entrepreneurs have had to build in isolation,' added Mattout. 'Nawat will equip them with the expertise, tools, and capital they need, not just to survive, but to lead the next wave of innovation in the region.' A Studio Model Built Locally Unlike one-size-fits-all traditional accelerators, the VC studio model takes a hands-on, co-building approach, allowing Netaj to work closely with founders from idea validation to product-market fit, and ultimately, investment. The studio is open to 40 startups, segmented across three tracks: • Ideation stage • MVP/Prototype stage • Early-established startups Each startup receives customized support, including expert-led bootcamps, one-on-one consultations, mentorship from industry veterans, and direct access to investors through demo days and curated matchmaking. 'This is Iraq's moment,' said Mattout. 'If we want to build serious startups, we need serious infrastructure. Nawat is the missing puzzle piece — designed for founders, by founders.' Strategic Investment + In-Kind Support Nawat offers a hybrid investment model, combining: • In-kind investment (product development, branding, digital tools) valued between $10K–$25K. • Direct financial investment ranging from $25K–$250K using convertible notes or equity. Netaj aims to invest in the top 5–10 startups that demonstrate traction, scalability, and founder commitment to operational growth. A New Era for Iraqi Startups With its headquarters in Baghdad's Jadriyah district, Netaj has positioned itself as a central hub for entrepreneurship in Iraq. Through Nawat, it seeks to nurture and back founders who are problem-driven, market-ready, and positioned for regional and ultimately global expansion. The launch of Nawat arrives at a time when the Iraqi private sector is in urgent need of innovation-driven ventures, digital solutions, and youth-led economic activity. About Netaj Netaj is a Baghdad-based innovation firm that offers venture support, strategic consulting, and capability-building for entrepreneurs and institutions. Its mission is to build a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem across Iraq through hands-on programs, access to capital, and long-term partnerships.

E-FILL introduces public tariff to advance Saudi Arabia's electric mobility vision
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – In support of Saudi Arabia's transition to clean and sustainable mobility, E-FILL, the national electric vehicle (EV) charging network powered by ASX E-Mobility — a subsidiary of AlSharif Group Holding — has officially launched public tariff pricing across its fast-charging stations. EV users can now charge at a standardized rate of SAR 0.99 per kWh, with a fully digital user journey managed through the E-FILL mobile application — available on iOS and Android. The process includes real-time station location, digital session activation, instant payment, and full usage tracking. "This milestone represents a strategic turning point in Saudi Arabia's electric mobility journey,' stated Mr. Nawaf AlSharif, Group CEO of AlSharif Group Holding. 'We are proud to back innovative platforms like E-FILL that combine energy efficiency, private-sector leadership, and digital transformation — all of which are central pillars of Vision 2030. Our Group remains committed to enabling infrastructure that accelerates the Kingdom's sustainable future.' 'By introducing a transparent tariff model and a fully app-based experience, we are setting new standards for electric mobility in the region,' said Mohammed Almusawa, CEO of ASX E-Mobility. 'This marks the transition from infrastructure deployment to commercial scalability — and it's built on a user-centric, technology-driven foundation that redefines how we power our vehicles.' As the Kingdom steadily shifts from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles toward electric mobility, E-FILL is helping bridge the gap by delivering a familiar yet forward-looking experience. The rollout mirrors the ease of traditional fueling while bringing the benefits of smart energy management and clean transport to the public. In parallel with this pricing launch, E-FILL is also expanding its national network of fast-charging stations through strategic partnerships with leading fuel and mobility entities including Aramco, AlDrees, and Orange Petrol Stations. Tariff pricing is now active at selected stations across Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Eastern Province, with additional locations coming online in the coming months. This initiative underscores E-FILL's mission to build economically sustainable, user-friendly, and digitally enabled EV infrastructure — supporting Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 targets for environmental stewardship, technological innovation, and energy diversification.
