MZN x Hub71 Programme

MZN x Hub71 is a three-month pre-accelerator run by Hub71 with the Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development at the MZN Hub in Al Ain. It sits under Hub71's Initiate umbrella and is designed for Emirati founders turning ideas into market-ready MVPs. The current cycle begins with activation events in January and February and leads to a June Demo Day. The program follows an annual cadence, with the 2026 cycle already past and the next intake expected later in 2026 or early 2027. The public material does not disclose a fixed funding package, but it shows that Hub71 and Khalifa Fund jointly support the cohort through office space, mentorship, and MVP development support. The fit is narrow and clear: Emirati founders building from an early idea stage who want a short, structured path to a demo-ready product. Applications are strongest when the concept is still being shaped but already has enough substance for a focused pre-accelerator journey and an investor-facing close.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
