Delivering non-drug treatments for neurological conditions using neuroscience and data analytics, mentorship and job matching platform, and a digital VAT refund solution for tourists with saving of 20 per cent are among the 15 innovative startups joining Hub71 this year.

Abu Dhabi’s global tech ecosystem has welcomed its first cohort of 2023 with startups operating in priority sectors, including HealthTech, FinTech, and EdTech. Hub71 received a 70 per cent increase in applications from startups compared to the previous cohort. Up to 67 per cent of the selected startups are headquartered outside the UAE, demonstrating the increasing global appeal of Abu Dhabi as a robust startup innovation hub where tech entrepreneurs can access capital, a growing community, and a business-friendly environment.

The 15 startups originate from the UAE, the US, New Zealand, Egypt, the Netherlands, and the UK. The addition of the latest batch increases the size of Hub71’s vibrant community to more than 240 startups.

“Our first cohort of 2023 comprises companies that have showcased a competitive edge in building differentiated tech platforms and products. By attracting and scaling startups with solutions that make a difference in people’s lives, we aim to make an impact on Abu Dhabi’s economy and society and continue bolstering its position as a leading global innovation hub,” Alwan added.
