About Hub71

Launched in 2019 by the Abu Dhabi government with Mubadala Investment Company, ADQ, and other anchors, Hub71 is the emirate's flagship technology ecosystem. It sets out to pull early- and growth-stage tech firms from across the globe into basing part of their operations in Abu Dhabi, leaning especially toward founders eyeing the MENA, South Asia, and Africa corridors.

At its heart is the Hub71 Incentive Program, under which approved startups receive subsidised housing, office space, and health cover for founders and staff across a multi-year window. Newer verticals have followed, Hub71+ Digital Assets for Web3 and blockchain and Hub71+ ClimateTech for decarbonisation, and members plug into the emirate's sovereign capital, public-sector procurement, and a roster of global investors active in the UAE.

The fit is clearest for Indian founders in scalable software, fintech, climatetech, healthtech, or digital assets who want a Gulf and MENA on-ramp; the hub has gone out of its way to recruit Indian teams, several of which run their UAE base from here. It works less like a grant and more like a sovereign-backed soft landing, a regulated foothold in a strategic location with exposure to UAE family offices, sovereign funds, and regional pilots. It is online at hub71.com.
