Shory Group Expands into Saudi Arabia following Regulatory Approval


(MENAFN- Edelman) Abu Dhabi, UAE – 14 November, 2025: Shory Group (“Shory”), a First.tech company and one of the fastest-growing insurtech firms in the region, has received regulatory approval from the Saudi Insurance Authority (IA) to begin operations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This marks a significant milestone in Shory’s regional growth strategy and positions the company to become a key player in Saudi Arabia’s rapidly evolving insurtech ecosystem.

Shory brings deep market expertise and a proven track record in building scalable digital insurance platforms. The approval from IA enables Shory to introduce its AI-driven insurance solutions to one of the largest and most dynamic markets in the Middle East.

Shory’s entry into Saudi Arabia comes after the newly established insurtech framework in Saudi Arabia, introduced in mid-2023 to support innovation, consumer protection and data privacy in the insurance sector.

It also aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which aims to modernise financial services and foster innovation through greater private sector participation. By introducing AI-driven insurance solutions, Shory supports the Kingdom’s ambition to build a more inclusive, technology-driven economy.

Abdulelah Alghofaili, Co-Founder and CEO, Shory Group, said: “Saudi Arabia’s insurance sector is undergoing a remarkable transformation, and we’re proud to be part of that journey. Our mission is to deliver AI-driven insurance solutions that are not only innovative but also tailored to the evolving needs of consumers and businesses in the Kingdom. With a platform designed to integrate seamlessly into digital ecosystems, we’re enabling fast, compliant and customer-centric insurance experiences. We’re excited to bring our technology and expertise to Saudi Arabia and contribute meaningfully to the Kingdom’s vision for a modern, inclusive financial sector.”

Shory was founded in 2021 by former Tameeni co-founders. It has since grown to become one of the fastest growing insurtech firms in the region, offering digital insurance solutions across various verticals.
