Emirates Post Group (EPG) and Hub71, Abu Dhabi’s global tech […]

Hub71, Abu Dhabi’s global tech ecosystem, has accepted 16 startups to join its growing community as part of the Emirate’s efforts to position itself as a leading innovation hub.

Thales Emarat Technologies will work closely with Hub71 start-ups and other ecosystem members over the coming years to discuss and identify various collaboration opportunities. Hub71 members will have access to Thales Emarat Technologies events and workshops each year led by experts from Thales. In addition, Thales staff will join the Hub71 mentorship programme.

Despite UAE’s entrepreneurial drive, the delays experienced by startups were cited as due to stringent documentation processes and lengthy KYC procedures that differ from bank to bank. These are key areas that Hub71 and partners aim to help solve for startups across the UAE.
