The Mohammed bin Rashid Innovation Fund, a Ministry of Finance initiative, has partnered with Dubai Silicon Oasis, a government-owned free zone technology park, to support emerging technology startups in the UAE through the Dubai Technology Entrepreneur Campus (Dtec), the region’s tech hub and co-working space.
According to a press release on Zawya, the partnership will provide members of the fund’s Innovation Accelerator programme with discounted lease rates, waivers of licence and processing fees for the first year, and access to all business activities in Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO). This would give them access to a large network of SMEs and technology entrepreneurs from all over the world in the region.
