Everything you need
to know about Wider.

Wider is a MENA-first human operating network — not a job board, not a social network, not a freelance marketplace. It is a complete ecosystem with four interconnected environments (Community, Hub, Network, Talks) connecting individuals, teams, companies, and digital assets in one intelligent regional network.

LinkedIn is built around connections and resumes. Wider is built around proof and value — your reputation grows through real work, contributions, and missions, not follower counts. Wider also connects companies and capabilities in ways LinkedIn was never designed for.

Yes. Joining the Wider community is free. The foundation layer is open to all contributors, builders, and specialists who want to be part of building the ecosystem from the ground up.

Wider is built for the MENA region — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Lebanon, and beyond. The ecosystem is designed to expand globally once the regional foundation is strong.

Phase 1 is about establishing the core identity, public presence, GitHub structure, and beginning to collect early contributors. Phases 2–5 will progressively launch Talks, Hub, Network, and Full Ecosystem.

Yes. Companies will connect through Wider Hub — the business integration environment where capabilities are showcased and matched. Company integration is being prepared as part of Phase 3.

Wider offers volunteer and internship opportunities across 6 departments: Engineering, Product, Design, Marketing, AI & Data, and HR & Recruitment. 24 roles and 71 contributor seats open now.

Arabic language support and RTL design are planned as part of the regional expansion.
