Hub71+ Digital Assets Programme

Hub71+ Digital Assets is Hub71's specialist programme for blockchain and digital assets startups that want to build from Abu Dhabi. It is part of the same Hub71+ vertical family and sits on top of the broader startup ecosystem the organisation runs in the emirate. The package provides AED 250,000 in in-kind service incentives, AED 250,000 in cash through a SAFE note, and up to an additional AED 250,000 performance top-up for high-performing companies committed to Abu Dhabi. The programme runs for 12 months in annual cohorts, and applicants after the August 2, 2026 deadline are considered for a subsequent cohort rather than shut out entirely. At least one founder must commit to long-term relocation and team-building in Abu Dhabi. This route fits founders who can handle a specialist accelerator setting and use the Abu Dhabi base to deepen investor access and operating support. The strongest applications will be the ones that pair a clear digital-assets thesis with a realistic relocation plan, because the cohort is built around commitment, not remote participation.
