Emirates Post Group (EPG) and Hub71, Abu Dhabi’s global tech ecosystem, have formed a strategic partnership to provide more opportunities for tech startups in the Emirate to collaborate with EPG and advance the logistics sector through the use of next-generation technologies.
The collaboration will focus on active collaborations with Hub71 startups and will facilitate meetings and introductions between EPG and founders who are driving smart businesses focused on increasing efficiency and productivity in the logistics industry. EPG will also mentor startup founders and support the development of Proof of Concepts as part of the agreement (POCs). EPG-backed startups will also be able to join Hub71’s thriving community.

Hub71’s partnership with EPG will support the transformation of the logistics sector, offering startups the opportunity to collaborate with an industry leader and drive mutually beneficial commercial growth.”
Badr Al-Olama, Chairman of Emirates Post Group, commented, “Emirates Post Group and Hub71 share a common mission of developing and nurturing tech startups in the UAE. We recognise their vital role in fast-tracking the logistics sector’s transition to the digital world. This partnership is also a manifestation of both entities’ commitment to advance Abu Dhabi’s development by investing in business, innovation, and people. We look forward to participating in Hub71’s programmes whose goals are aligned with our purpose and values as an organisation.”

Both organizations will promote knowledge-transfer platforms to help entrepreneurs at Hub71 improve their skills.
