Seed accelerator TURN8 has announced the launch of the third round of its programme to promote entrepreneurship and innovation in Dubai.
An initiative of DP World, and powered by i360accelerator, TURN8 is now accepting technology business ideas for the third round of acceleration to begin in August.
The four-month ‘Scouting Phase’ will begin with an idea-pitching event in Dubai on 7 May, followed by pitching events in Abu Dhabi, and other select cities around the world including Casablanca, Nairobi and Cape Town.
Mohamed Hamdy, TURN8 managing director, said: “TURN8 fills a gap in the marketplace by identifying and nurturing start-ups with early stage ideas, and supporting them in building a minimal viable product that attracts authentic demand in their addressable market.
“We achieve this through a 120-day programme that involved a hands-on approach and continued support post-graduation.”
Start-ups selected for round three will be invited to Dubai for four months, where they will receive mentoring to refine and launch their business ideas, training in how to run a successful business, and seed funding of $30,000.
