TURN8 is a hub that brings together enterprise and innovators in the UAE. A platform for innovators to raise the necessary funding needed for launching their business ideas globally.
This program has been launched by DP World in collaboration with Innovation 360, the leading Innovation Management consultancy in the region, which has previously facilitated its own seed accelerator and has brought other entrepreneurial initiatives to the region.
Open to creative geniuses who innovate new business and technology, policy makers working to build an entrepreneurial infrastructure, wisdom dealers (mentors) sharing their business expertise with the next generation of entrepreneurs, smart sellers (service providers) supporting teams with their service and product offerings, investors/opportunity hunters seeking ROI from vetted startups, innovative businesses seeking innovation breakthroughs through competitions and sponsorships.
With an intense selection process you can apply to be shortlisted by either attending an event close to you or through an online pitch. For any idea you pitch it must be innovative, sustainable, feasible and have a demand.
So if you have a plan or concept that you want to now launch then start pitching to TURN8.
