Overview

This session is exclusive to The Global Startup Program participants.

The Global Startup Program is an innovation program spearheaded by the Italian Trade Agency and the Italian Government to support Italian startups expand their growth in international markets and scaleup.

Dubai Future Foundation and AREA 2071 will host an 8-week acceleration program from February 22 to April 15 welcoming 11 startups. During the program we will focus on how to drive innovation into governments, introduce UAE’s innovation ecosystem and provide them with access to setting up in the UAE, capacity building workshops, innovation challenges and investor introductions.

In this journey with DFF, the Italian startups will accelerate their knowledge and market expansion. And in return, Dubai Future Foundation hopes that these startups engage with the ecosystem and create opportunities to become part of the innovation economy of the UAE.
