It’s been reported that RIM is in the mix of setting up a BlackBerry Entrepreneurship Academy in partnership with the Saudi Arabian Investment Authority (SAGIA). The BlackBerry Entrepreneurship Academy will provide training workshops, a support team and consultation to help entrepreneurial Saudi developers with the commercial and technical aspects of developing mobile applications and content.
“We see an increasing demand in this region for localized applications and mobile content and this is creating an opportunity for enterprising software developers,” Hamidaddin said, adding that the programs under the BlackBerry Entrepreneurship Academy will significantly increase the number of applications available in Saudi Arabia, the Middle East region and globally, and enable new skills and more job opportunities in the Kingdom.
“We are very honored to be working with SAGIA to launch the BlackBerry Entrepreneurship Academy in the Middle East,” Sandeep Saihgal said, pointing out that the proposed academy is intended to give Saudi developers access to RIM’s in-house team of developers, who will provide support to Saudi developers for getting their apps to market and into BlackBerry App World.
