The Intelak Hub is comprised of three programs for entrepreneurs.
The Intelak Accelerator is an eight-week program for late-stage startups that are
looking to expand into Dubai or conduct a proof of concept in the city.
The
program is looking for startups that have solutions to address one of five
challenge areas: shopping experience, contactless touchpoints, artificial
intelligence/personalization, gamification and inclusivity.
The Intelak Incubator is an eight-week program for early
stage startups with a minimum viable product that has strategic fit in Dubai
and want help to move their business through launch stage. In addition to
guidance from partners and feasibility assessments, participants receive 50,000
AED in equity-free funding.
And the Intelak Idea Lab is a three-week program for citizens
of the United Arab Emirates that have a startup idea in aviation, travel or
tourism.
