Hub71+ AI Programme

Hub71+ AI Programme is Hub71's specialist accelerator for startups whose core product is built on or uses artificial intelligence. It is based in Abu Dhabi and sits inside Hub71's broader startup platform, which pairs funding with technical and commercial introductions. The package can reach AED 750,000 in total: AED 250,000 in in-kind service credits, AED 250,000 in cash through a SAFE note, and up to AED 250,000 more for high-performing companies committed to Abu Dhabi. The programme runs for 12 months and moves from launch and market entry support to corporate introductions, growth acceleration, and a fundraising showcase. Cohorts open multiple times per year rather than on a single annual window. Applicants need an AI-core product, a complete pitch deck, and at least one founder willing to commit to long-term relocation and team building in Abu Dhabi. The selection process moves through application review, meetings with the Hub71 team, partner discussions, and a final committee decision. It is a good fit for AI startups that can prove product clarity, market potential, traction, and a credible expansion plan in the UAE.
