The DIFC Launchpad

DIFC Launchpad is a new initiative aimed at attracting the best minds from entrepreneurial ecosystems around the world to Dubai by providing them with all the necessary support to develop, test and launch new start-ups, scale-ups and corporate ventures on an unprecedented scale.

The effort builds upon DIFC’s unique ecosystem to foster collaboration and co-creation between venture studios, corporations, entrepreneurs, investors and academic partners from around the world.

As a key part of DIFC’s strategy to catalyze new job creation and economic development in the financial services industry, DIFC Launchpad expects to support the launch of more than 200 new ventures of which over 100 will be scale-ups that collectively will create over 8,000 new jobs and attract over AED 2 billion in venture capital.

We have created the world’s first venture building platform to advance the ubiquitous finance ecosystem by unblocking an “unfair advantage” for corporate innovation, catalyst and co-founder studios through:

Simplifying non-core tasks of venture building for studios.

Enabling connectivity and access to experts, markets and regulations.

Accelerating setup, operation and scaling of studios and their ventures.
