Flat6Labs Ignite (Abu Dhabi)
Flat6Labs Ignite in Abu Dhabi is their local accelerator intake. As of 23 August 2026 the public apply page did not give a verified close date, so the record is closed until the next cohort is dated. Same slug when it opens. Flat6Labs also appears on this board via Catalyst (Masdar / bp). Do not treat them as one form. When Ignite is live, expect a standard regional accelerator: equity or a note, a cohort calendar, Abu Dhabi gravity.
DESK TAKE
We will not invent a deadline. If you want a live Flat6Labs-adjacent path today, read Catalyst. Come back here when Ignite posts dates.

No. Catalyst is a separate Masdar City / bp programme that Flat6Labs helps run.
