In partnership with the Government of Dubai, the Dubai Future Accelerators initiative offers a unique start-up program for cutting-edge entrepreneurs, which uses the city as a living testbed for creating solutions to the global challenges of tomorrow. One of the technological hubs of this thriving city, Dubai Internet City (DIC) is at the forefront of tech innovation and advancement.
