جمعية زان في جازان تطلق «زانثون»، حاضنة ذكاء اصطناعي تاخذ فكرتك لين النموذج الأولي، والتسجيل مفتوح لين 10 نوفمبرJazan's Zan Association launches Zanthon, an AI incubator that takes your idea to a prototype, with registration open until 10 November

The Zan Association for Research and Innovation in the Jazan region has launched "Zanthon", an AI incubator, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA). The aim is to help people with tech ideas and startups build workable solutions to real-world challenges.

The programme is a mentoring and hands-on track: it starts with developing the idea and ends with a prototype presented to a judging panel. Registration is open until 10 November through the association's website, with three tracks: education, logistics and a general tech track, so participants can work on ideas linked to the needs of the community and different sectors.

It begins with a training bootcamp on 1 December, followed by hands-on workshops and prototype building with mentoring and follow-up sessions, and judging on 8 December. The association runs the programme in cooperation with "Jada 30" and the House of Culture, with support from the Associations Support Fund.

The association's president, Faisal Al-Kulaibi, said the programme combines mentoring with practical work and gives participants a chance to test and develop their ideas stage by stage until they reach clearer, more workable solutions. The report does not give the number of places or mention any prizes or funding.
