\u201cWhile for over four decades, GITEX has been the region\u2019s premier enterprise IT trade show, we are excited to see it also become a platform for the region\u2019s vibrant start-up ecosystem,\u201d said Ryaan Sharif, General Manager at Flat6Labs UAE. \u201cOver the last year and a half, Flat6Labs Ignite, which we run in partnership with ADQ\u2019s DisruptAD, has quickly become one of the most sought-after seed programs in the UAE, even drawing the formal support of the Ministry of Economy in Abu Dhabi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBuilding on this momentum, at our GITEX debut, we will showcase the value of our program and provide our start-ups with the opportunity to reach key stakeholders from across the region,\u201d said Sharif. \u00a0\u201cWe also intend to engage with innovative start-ups attending the show that would be interested in applying to be part of Cycle 4 of our program and more importantly looking to scale into the MENA Region using Abu Dhabi as the headquarters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the five days of the event, Flat6Labs will host 24 of its start-ups in rotation, offering visitors an opportunity to engage with each of these at one of the stand\u2019s dedicated demo kiosks. These organisations span multiple sectors including EdTech, HealthTech, Cybersecurity, Real Estate, Construction, Sustainability, Automotive and Sports Engagement \u2014 with each offering a pioneering product or service designed to disrupt their industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arguably the highlight of Flat6Labs\u2019 week at GITEX is the demo day for Cycle 3 start-ups which will be held on the iconic Queen Elizabeth 2 cruise liner in Dubai the evening of Wednesday, October 12th. At this event, high-net-worth individuals, venture capitalists and angel investors will have the opportunity to get a deep dive into the business and value proposition of each of the start-ups within Flat6Labs\u2019 latest cohort. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attendees to Demo Day therefore have an unparalleled opportunity to invest at a critical stage with the potential to deliver impressive returns on their investment\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
