Saudi Arabia-based contech platform BRKZ has secured a strategic investment from Saudi Industrial Investment Company (SIC), the investment arm of the Saudi Industrial Development Fund (SIDF), marking a significant milestone in the Kingdom’s push to digitise and scale its industrial ecosystem.
Founded in 2023 by Ibrahim Manna, BRKZ operates as a B2B construction technology (contech) platform, offering businesses access to a wide network of suppliers and materials, alongside flexible delivery and payment solutions.
The announcement was formalised during a signing ceremony attended by Prince Sultan bin Khalid Al Saud, CEO of SIDF and Vice Chairman of SIC, and Fahad Al-Naeem. BRKZ was represented by its founder and CEO, Ibrahim Manna.
Scaling Industrial Enablement in Saudi Arabia
The investment will support BRKZ’s transition from a procurement-focused marketplace into a full-scale industrial supply chain enabler. The company is integrating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud manufacturing, and embedded financing solutions to improve efficiency and unlock production capacity across the sector.
Currently, BRKZ serves more than 350 SMEs through a network of approximately 1,600 suppliers, offering over 7,300 stock-keeping units (SKUs). Its contractor-led demand model is designed to strengthen upstream factories and streamline procurement processes.
This strategic backing aligns with Saudi Arabia’s broader economic transformation under Vision 2030, aimed at positioning the Kingdom as a global manufacturing hub.
Driving Productivity and Liquidity
Commenting on the investment, Fahad Al-Naeem, CEO of SIC, said the move reflects confidence in BRKZ’s ability to address critical inefficiencies in industrial supply chains.
He highlighted that BRKZ’s model facilitates supplier access, introduces payment flexibility, and enables the utilisation of idle production capacity—factors essential for scaling industrial SMEs.
Ibrahim Manna, CEO of BRKZ, emphasised the company’s mission to empower factories as key drivers of economic growth. He noted that the integration of AI allows BRKZ to enhance speed, optimise pricing, and deliver a more seamless user experience across the supply chain.
Building a Tech-Driven Industrial Ecosystem
BRKZ’s platform combines marketplace access with financial and operational enablement tools, including:
- A large supplier marketplace spanning ~1,600 suppliers
- Flexible payment solutions such as cash, cash-on-delivery, and credit
- Factory support services including certification, off-take financing, and cloud manufacturing
- A “full-stack agentic AI” system to automate and optimise operations
The company has previously attracted investment from leading regional and global investors, including BECO Capital, BTV, Wa’ed Ventures, 9900, and Class 5.
In October 2026, BRKZ also secured up to $30 million in growth debt financing from Stride Ventures, further strengthening its expansion plans.
Strengthening Saudi Arabia’s Industrial Future
With this latest investment, BRKZ is set to play a pivotal role in modernising industrial procurement and enabling SMEs through integrated digital infrastructure. The partnership with SIC is expected to accelerate factory productivity, improve access to liquidity, and enhance overall supply chain resilience across Saudi Arabia.
