The Launchpad is more than the typical startup accelerator. In addition to mentorship and strategic guidance, we provide connections to major stakeholders and leaders across the private and public sectors.
Our team introduces participating startups to investors so they can access the capital they need to grow. We advocate for new development opportunities and pilot programs in the UAE. We leverage our network to create new partnerships and support systems for climate tech.
The COP28 Global Stocktake in Dubai highlighted the "fundamental role of technology development and transfer" in mitigating climate change.
UICCA crafted the Launchpad to facilitate the development of climate technology in the UAE. Our country features two essential factors for innovation: a burgeoning startup scene and a supportive regulatory environment. Through the Launchpad, we enable businesses to advance our shared net-zero vision.
