English term or phrase: about more than creating local heroes
Get in the Ring provides this challenge to thousands of startups in 80 countries, with the big finale taking place in Colombia in March 2016. This makes winning the national final of Saudi Arabia about more than creating local heroes, the winners will get a chance to represent their country in the Middle East final and maybe even on the global stage.

I would like to know the meaning of the above part in bold

Selected answer:Widens the potential scope for the winner
Explanation:
Winning the national final of Saudi Arabia would create a local winner, a "local hero", but the fact that the winner will enter the big finale in Colombia means that the winner will have a chance of being a "hero" on the global stage.
