Unipal is the largest youth platform in MENA, on a mission to eliminate 'broke student' syndrome by connecting university students with exclusive discounts and benefits. Founded in 2020, the platform started as a student idea in Bahrain and has rapidly expanded to become a regional powerhouse, now operating in both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia with headquarters in Riyadh. Unipal partners with over 200 local brands and 150,000+ global merchants to offer students savings on everything from food and coffee to fitness, electronics, fashion, and entertainment.
What makes Unipal different is its dual-sided approach: students get a digital student ID that unlocks instant savings, while brands gain direct access to the most valuable consumer segment - young, engaged, and brand-loyal. The platform has been recognized as the Best Mobile App in Bahrain and praised by Saudi Arabia's Minister of Communications and IT as a success story. By using technology to bridge the gap between student spending power and brand marketing needs, Unipal has created a sustainable ecosystem that benefits both sides while fundamentally improving the university experience for thousands of students across the region.
