Merak Capital’s investment approach is grounded in identifying companies that define the next phase of Saudi Arabia’s digital and infrastructural evolution. By focusing on sectors that align with Vision 2030’s transformation goals, Merak continues to support businesses that shape smarter, more efficient, and sustainable systems for the Kingdom’s future. Arsann exemplifies this commitment through its work at the heart of urban mobility.
Established in 2017, Arsann has grown into Saudi Arabia’s foremost provider of smart parking infrastructure. Its integrated platforms—powered by advanced license plate recognition, real-time payment systems, and digitally enabled valet services—have redefined how cities and businesses manage parking and traffic flow. The company’s proprietary Parking Operating System (Parking OS) connects the physical and digital layers of parking operations, creating seamless experiences for drivers and actionable insights for operators. Today, Arsann’s network spans over 270 active sites across Saudi Arabia, serving retail centers, hospitals, airports, and commercial districts, and has managed over 10 million parked vehicles to date.
The market environment surrounding Arsann is evolving rapidly. Saudi Arabia’s smart parking and mobility sector is projected to expand from SAR 8.8 billion in 2024 to more than SAR 50 billion by 2030, representing an annual growth rate of around 34%. This acceleration is fueled by rising urbanization, smart city initiatives, and giga projects such as Riyadh Expo 2030, Qiddiya, and King Salman Park—all of which require advanced, data-centric infrastructure solutions. In this context, Arsann’s technology and operational maturity position it as a natural partner for both public and private sector stakeholders seeking to modernize mobility systems at scale.
Merak Capital’s SAR 100 million strategic investment in Arsann represents a deliberate step toward enabling that future. The partnership will help scale Arsann’s technology capabilities, expand its reach into municipal on-street programs, and integrate emerging solutions such as EV charging networks and advanced analytics platforms. More importantly, it reinforces Merak’s focus on supporting national champions that combine commercial success with meaningful impact on Saudi Arabia’s urban transformation.
Arsann’s journey reflects the Kingdom’s broader shift toward intelligent infrastructure—where connectivity, automation, and sustainability converge. By empowering municipalities, developers, and businesses to optimize mobility, Arsann is redefining the role of parking from a static necessity into a dynamic enabler of smarter cities. At Merak, we view this collaboration as part of a shared mission: investing in the technologies that are quietly but decisively shaping how Saudi Arabia moves, builds, and grows.
