Wamda, the MENA region's leading platform for entrepreneurship and innovation, has included Looms in its annual Startup Landscape Report as one of the most promising digital health companies emerging from the region in 2024.
The recognition criteria
Wamda's editorial team selects companies based on market traction, funding quality, team composition and the scale of the problem being addressed. Looms was recognised specifically for its approach to patient data ownership in a region where health record portability has historically been poor.
What this means for regional visibility
The Wamda Startup Landscape Report is widely read by regional investors, government bodies and potential clinic partners. Being included has meaningfully increased our inbound interest from all three — and we've seen a direct spike in clinic partnership enquiries from Saudi Arabia and Qatar following the report's publication.
A thank you
Recognition from regional voices that understand the MENA context matters more to us than recognition from international publications that might not. The healthcare problem we're solving is specific to this region, and we're grateful to Wamda for understanding why it matters.
