Saudi Arabia has introduced a new funding program to support cultural enterprises in adopting and enhancing artificial intelligence technologies. The Cultural Development Fund (CDF), in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), launched the AI Incentives for Cultural Projects initiative.

This program offers non-repayable grants of up to SR500,000 per project and is the first track under the CDF’s Numou Incentives. Up to 20 projects will be supported, with a cap of one project per enterprise. The initiative targets micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises operating in various cultural sectors, including architecture, culinary arts, fashion, film, libraries, heritage, museums, music, literature, publishing, visual arts, theater, and performing arts.

Applications are open until the end of September, and the CDF invites eligible enterprises to review the program’s requirements and submit their proposals. The initiative aims to drive digital transformation, accelerate innovation, and strengthen the economic and social impact of cultural enterprises, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Year of Artificial Intelligence 2026.
