BRKZ, a Saudi Arabia-based construction technology (contech) platform, has secured a strategic investment from Saudi Industrial Investment Company (SIC), the investment arm of Saudi Industrial Development Fund. The deal marks a significant step in Saudi Arabia’s efforts to digitise and scale its industrial ecosystem under Saudi Vision 2030.
From Marketplace to Full-Scale Supply Chain Enabler
Founded in 2023 by Ibrahim Manna, BRKZ began as a procurement-focused marketplace connecting businesses with suppliers and materials. With this new investment, the company is evolving into a comprehensive industrial supply chain enabler.
BRKZ is integrating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud manufacturing, and embedded finance to streamline procurement, improve efficiency, and unlock unused production capacity across factories.
Expanding Reach and Supporting SMEs
Currently, BRKZ serves over 350 SMEs through a network of around 1,600 suppliers, offering access to more than 7,300 products. Its contractor-driven demand model is designed to strengthen upstream manufacturing while simplifying sourcing for businesses.
This approach aligns closely with Saudi Arabia’s ambition to position itself as a global manufacturing hub by boosting industrial productivity and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises.
Driving Efficiency, Liquidity, and Growth
According to Fahad Al-Naeem, CEO of SIC, the investment reflects strong confidence in BRKZ’s ability to address inefficiencies within industrial supply chains. The platform enhances supplier accessibility, introduces flexible payment options, and enables factories to utilise idle capacity more effectively.
Ibrahim Manna also highlighted that AI integration is central to BRKZ’s strategy, helping optimise pricing, improve speed, and deliver a seamless user experience.
Building a Tech-Driven Industrial Ecosystem
BRKZ offers a range of integrated solutions, including:
- A large supplier marketplace with extensive product access
- Flexible payment methods such as cash, credit, and cash-on-delivery
- Factory enablement services like certification, financing, and cloud manufacturing
- AI-powered systems to automate and optimise operations
The company has previously attracted investment from firms like BECO Capital, BTV, Wa’ed Ventures, 9900 Capital, and Class 5 Global. It also secured up to $30 million in growth debt financing from Stride Ventures to support its expansion.
Strengthening Saudi Arabia’s Industrial Future
With this latest backing, BRKZ is well-positioned to modernise industrial procurement and empower SMEs through digital infrastructure. Its partnership with SIC is expected to boost productivity, improve access to financing, and strengthen supply chain resilience—key pillars in shaping the future of Saudi Arabia’s industrial sector.
