The Launchpad is more than the typical startup accelerator.
In addition to mentorship and strategic guidance, we facilitate workshops, provide expertise on the UAE market, and coordinate technology showcases for key stakeholders.
By aligning each startups work with national goals and sustainability frameworks, we improve their chances of gaining exposure to new partners and investors.
