Flat6Labs, the MENA region’s leading seed-stage program and early-stage venture capital firm, announced it will be making its GITEX Global debut at the 2022 edition of the show.
Flat6Labs will use this event as an opportunity to present 24 innovative companies which are under its seed program in the UAE and MENA region.
Additionally, the business will hold its Demo Day on October 12th where start-ups from Cohort 3 of Flat6Labs Ignite will have the chance to present and pitch to top regional venture capitalists, angel investors, corporates, and leaders in the entrepreneurship ecosystem in an effort to secure additional funding.
Ryaan Sharif, General Manager at Flat6Labs UAE said “Building on this momentum, at our GITEX debut, we will showcase the value of our program, and provide our start-ups with the opportunity to reach key stakeholders from across the region. We also intend to engage with innovative start-ups attending the show that would be interested in applying to be part of Cycle 4 of our program and more importantly looking to scale into the MENA Region using Abu Dhabi as the headquarters.”
Over the course of the five days of the event, Flat6Labs will showcase 24 of its start-ups in rotation, giving attendees the chance to interact with each of them at a special demo kiosk at the stand.
These organizations span multiple sectors including EdTech, HealthTech, Cybersecurity, Real Estate, Construction, Sustainability, Automotive, and Sports Engagement — with each offering a pioneering product or service designed to disrupt their industry.
The most awaited moment of all would be the demo day for cycle 3 startups on October 12 which will be hosted on the iconic Queen Elizabeth 2 cruise liner in Dubai.
At this event, high-net-worth individuals, venture capitalists, and angel investors will have the opportunity to get a deep dive into the business and value proposition of each of the start-ups within Flat6Labs’ latest cohort. These include:
Sharif added “Each of these start-ups has been meticulously vetted from over 700 applicants and has subsequently received world-class mentorship to refine their strategies and operations. They are now primed for the transformation from promising start-up to industry pioneer. Attendees to Demo Day, therefore, have an unparalleled opportunity to invest at a critical stage with the potential to deliver impressive returns on their investment.”
