As part of his visit, Minister Dharmendra Pradhan made a significant visit to Hub71, a prominent global tech ecosystem situated in the heart of Abu Dhabi.

Hub71, a leading tech startup ecosystem in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, serves as a thriving platform for startups.

At Hub71, industry partners, corporates, investors, mentors as well as govt regulators provide all the necessary support to nurture the spirit of enterprise and help start-ups scale exponentially,” he wrote.

 


He highlighted the collaborative spirit at Hub71, where industry partners, corporations, investors, mentors, and government regulators join forces to provide comprehensive support, nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit and propelling startups toward exponential growth.

The visit to Hub71 represents a strong commitment to nurturing entrepreneurship and innovation, emphasizing the importance of whole-of-society ecosystems in unlocking a country’s full entrepreneurial and innovative potential.

Minister Pradhan’s visit to the UAE has already seen significant developments in the education and skill development sector.
