Abu Dhabi’s Hub71 rolls out red carpet for entrepreneurs

ABU DHABI: (Dec 22) Abu Dhabi’s tech accelerator Hub71 has embarked on a drive to strengthen its role as a hub connecting Asia, the Middle East, and the West, according to a top official of the government-backed startup platform.

Peter Abou Hachem, Head of Growth and Strategy at Hub71 tech ecosystem, said the objective is to cement Abu Dhabi as a top global tech hub by building one of the fastest-growing tech ecosystems in the world.

“Our existence is all about supporting Abu Dhabi to diversify the economy from an oil-heavy GDP, and one of the initiatives under that big vision is to build Abu Dhabi into a global tech ecosystem,” Hachem said during an interaction with visiting Indian media recently.
