CoreTechX
ActiveAn on-premise AI platform that digitizes, transcribes, and makes searchable handwritten Arabic archival documents while preserving data sovereignty.
CoreTechX is a Riyadh-based AI startup (111 Al Diwan Street), co-founded by Fahad Faisal Fahad AlSaud and Fahad Durukan, that builds an on-premise AI system (marketed as Raqmn.ai / ENAHR) for digitizing and searching handwritten Arabic archives for governments, courts, and institutions without sending data to external servers. Its proprietary OCR reportedly beats general models like ChatGPT and Gemini-Pro on Arabic handwriting benchmarks. It was selected for Cycle 6 of Flat6Labs' Riyadh Seed Program (demo day January 2026); no PIF/sovereign ownership evidence was found beyond the shared AlSaud surname.

Accelerator investment: CoreTechX was in cycle 6 of the Flat6Labs Riyadh Seed Program (funded by F6 Ventures with SVC, Jada Fund of Funds and Riyadh Valley Company; cycle ran late 2025, demo day 14 Jan 2026). The programme page states SAR 500K (~$133,333 at the 3.75 peg) cash seed funding per startup plus up to SAR 2.4M follow-on for selected graduates, but no CoreTechX-specific amount was published, so amount left null.
