Contractzlab Launches In Saudi Arabia To Power AI-Driven Compliance For Vision 2030
(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) Riyadh, 8 December 2025 – Contractzlab, a Franco-Tunisian legal-tech startup specializing in AI-powered contract and compliance management, has officially launched its expansion into Saudi Arabia through Business France's Booster Grow Global program. During a multi-city immersion across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and Khobar, the company engaged with government entities, legal leaders, and major enterprises to explore strategic partnerships and contribute to the Kingdom's digital transformation in governance under Vision 2030.
Earlier this year, Contractzlab was selected to participate in VivaTech 2025, Europe's largest startup and tech event, where it showcased its platform alongside Business France and the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA). The event marked a key milestone in Contractzlab's international expansion and reinforced its commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia's digital transformation goals. Founded in 2023 by Rafik Hwimli, Contractzlab offers SaaS and on-premise solutions that automate contract drafting, review, and lifecycle management. Its proprietary regulatory AI model (“Mike”) and native multilingual capabilities (Arabic, French, English) were key to its selection for the Booster program. With over 1,000 daily users and more than 20,000 contracts processed across 15+ clients, Contractzlab enters the Middle East with proven traction and a clear mandate: to support Saudi organizations in digitizing legal operations and achieving compliance excellence. Saudi Arabia's Compliance Transformation Supports Vision 2030 Saudi Arabia is undergoing a sweeping digital transformation across public administration and the private sector. Vision 2030 reforms, giga-projects, and new regulatory frameworks have significantly increased demand for advanced governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) tools. In 2024, over 65% of Saudi companies reported overhauling their internal GRC frameworks to meet updated regulatory expectations, while authorities such as SAMA and CMA intensified enforcement of AML, ESG, and transparency standards. This shift has made digital contract management and automated compliance essential to operational efficiency and risk mitigation. Contractzlab's platform directly addresses these priorities by replacing manual workflows with AI-driven drafting, clause analysis, and real-time risk detection. The result: faster contract cycles, reduced errors, and stronger alignment with evolving legal and regulatory standards. “Saudi Arabia is undergoing a historic digital transformation under Vision 2030, making it a strategic hub for innovative legal-tech solutions,” said Rafik Hwimli, Founder & CEO of Contractzlab.“Our goal is to support Saudi organizations in digitizing their legal processes and ensuring compliance at the highest standards. Initial partnerships and early results confirm that the time is right for an AI-powered solution tailored to Saudi needs.” Strategic Roadmap for Saudi Market Entry Contractzlab is executing a phased entry strategy focused on high-volume, high-compliance sectors such as energy, government, and legal services. A recent proof-of-concept with Saudi Aramco's procurement division demonstrated significantly faster contract cycles and improved compliance tracking, enabled by real-time AI quality checks that flagged inconsistencies and facilitated rapid resolution of potential risks. To localize its solution, the company partnered with Cabinet Al-Hareth Al Suhaibani, a leading Saudi law firm. The collaboration combines Contractzlab's AI modules with the firm's deep expertise in Saudi law, ensuring full alignment with local regulations and administrative procedures. Building on insights gained during the Booster immersion, Contractzlab plans to onboard Saudi distributors and system integrators to expand its reach and provide localized support. Training and certification programs are also in development to help legal and IT teams fully adopt the platform and maximize its capabilities. In the medium term, Contractzlab will establish a permanent presence in Riyadh, with dedicated teams for customer success, sales, and engineering. This local footprint will enable the company to respond quickly to client needs, co-develop sector-specific modules, and stay ahead of regulatory changes. AI-Powered Compliance Technology Built for Saudi Arabia Contractzlab's platform delivers end-to-end, AI-assisted Contract Lifecycle Management with native Arabic support – a rare capability in the market. At its core is“Mike,” a proprietary regulatory LLM trained on extensive legal datasets to analyze and generate complex contract language in Arabic, English, and French. The system automates drafting, clause review, compliance checks, and approval workflows. It identifies key provisions such as liability, penalties, and termination clauses, verifies alignment with regulations and internal policies, and tracks obligations and deadlines in real time to prevent compliance gaps. Industry-specific rule libraries support banking, energy, and public procurement standards. Available as SaaS or on-premise, the platform includes dashboards, audit trails, e-signature integration, and machine-learning insights that accelerate negotiations and reduce manual workload. Continuously updated to reflect Saudi regulations, the platform ensures“compliance by design.” Its multilingual capabilities enable cross-language clause search, comparison, and translation, essential in the Kingdom's bilingual business environment. By embedding AI at every stage of the contract lifecycle, Contractzlab empowers Saudi organizations to streamline operations, reduce risk, and innovate with confidence. As the Kingdom continues to invest in digital infrastructure and regulatory modernization, Contractzlab is well-positioned to become a key enabler of secure, efficient business in Saudi Arabia's evolving digital economy.
