By enhancing collaboration between Dubai’s tech ecosystem and European nations, we aim to develop new and substantial avenues for innovation, investment, and growth across all digital sectors.”
Under the terms of the memorandum, both parties will work together to create new opportunities for tech startups in Dubai and Europe. This collaboration will focus on key areas such as exploring new markets, facilitating business and investment opportunities, and providing comprehensive support for companies looking to establish a presence in both Dubai and Europe. Additionally, the parties will encourage active participation in their respective innovation ecosystems, organize trade missions, guide investors towards new opportunities, and facilitate access to incubators, accelerators, and local funding services.
