1 Min Read

Three Emirati startups have received in-kind support packages worth up to AED100,000 after completing the inaugural MZN Hub71 programme in Abu Dhabi.

Limb, an AI-powered physiotherapy platform for remote monitoring and personalised rehabilitation, took first place and received AED100,000. Reach LLM, which helps brands improve their visibility across large language models, ranked second with AED60,000, while Hign Al Khaleej, a Gulf-focused marketplace for buying, selling and auctioning camels, received AED40,000 for finishing third.

Seventeen startups took part in the 12-week programme, established by Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development and Hub71. The initiative supports Emirati founders before they enter later-stage programmes, helping them develop minimum viable products through venture-building support, mentorship and access to Hub71’s ecosystem.

At the MZN Hub71 Demo Day, founders presented startups spanning AI, HealthTech, ClimateTech, FinTech and AgriTech to investors, ecosystem partners and government stakeholders. The programme included 21 workshops, panel discussions and pitch clinics covering product development, market validation, AI strategy, go-to-market planning, fundraising and corporate engagement.
