Blossom Accelerator has announced the launch of DominAite, a national AI scale accelerator designed to advance Saudi Arabia’s global leadership in artificial intelligence. Supported by the National Technology Development Program (NTDP), the platform brings together a powerful ecosystem of national and global partners to support the next generation of AI-native startups.
The platform is further strengthened by a coalition of leading national and global collaborators, including SDAIA, NVIDIA and Elm, who bring advanced capabilities across infrastructure, training, and digital enablement.
Among its key partnerships, DominAite collaborates with the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) to ensure startups are equipped to scale responsibly within a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. Through this collaboration, founders will be provided with specialized mentorship and guidance, including sessions focused on data governance, compliance, and the responsible development of AI applications. Founders will also gain access to open data and opportunities to integrate with the national data and AI ecosystem, enhancing their scalability and strengthening their market positioning.
“DominAite is designed to be more than just an accelerator, it is a national-scale platform built to empower founders with the infrastructure, expertise, and partnerships needed to develop and scale globally competitive AI solutions. By bringing together leading entities like SDAIA, NVIDIA, and Elm, we are enabling startups to innovate responsibly while accelerating their growth within Saudi Arabia’s dynamic AI ecosystem,” said Emon Shakoor, CEO of Blossom Accelerator.
As part of this collaboration, NVIDIA will provide startups with targeted technical mentorship and training, including sessions focused on generative AI and advanced model development. Eligible startups will also have the opportunity to apply for the NVIDIA Inception Program, a global initiative designed to support startups through access to technical training, preferential pricing on NVIDIA hardware and software, and go-to-market support.
Together, these collaborators provide a robust foundation of hyperscale computing infrastructure, deep AI expertise, and national digital capabilities. Through this integrated ecosystem, founders will benefit from access to world-class compute resources and AI tools, alongside expert-led technical enablement and strategic guidance to scale solutions responsibly across enterprise, institutional, and national levels.
DominAite is designed to go beyond traditional acceleration models by embedding startups within a high-impact ecosystem that combines capital, infrastructure, and policy alignment. The program supports early-stage AI-native companies developing data- and compute-intensive solutions across key sectors, positioning them for both regional and global growth.
Applications for the DominAite Accelerator Program are now open.
