Dubai Founders HQ, launched by Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan on October 6, onboarded 500 startups and 1,500 members within its first six weeks. The 20,000-square-foot campus runs at roughly 70 percent daily occupancy.
A joint initiative of Dubai Economy and Tourism and the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy under D33, the hub offers co-working spaces, private offices, and a digital platform with licensing support and a bilingual learning hub.
The initiative contributes to Dubai's goal of scaling 30 unicorns and enabling 400 SMEs to grow by 2033, reflecting the emirate's infrastructure-first approach to building startup density.
