Abu Dhabi’s global tech ecosystem, Hub71, has selected the latest batch of tech startups. Over the next two years, new cohorts will participate in Hub71’s incentive program, benefiting from equity-free incentives worth up to AED 500,000. They will also have access to active investors, corporate, government and academic partners.
The selected startups come from nine countries, including the United States, Italy and the United Kingdom. They specialize in areas such as FinTech, HealthTech, CleanTech, EdTech, FoodTech and Logistics. In addition to locally developed startups in the UAE, the cohort also includes the first Hub71-affiliated tech venture from Luxembourg. The Green Future Project, a platform for individuals and companies to support top international climate projects and track and trace their environmental impact, is one of the eclectic start-ups. The cohort also includes Abhi, a fintech platform that allows salaried employees to access their payroll if necessary, and Amwal, a platform that allows consumers to pay, send or send money based on their phone number.
