ABU DHABI, 22nd August, 2024 (WAM) -- The Authority of Social Contribution – Ma’an has
announced its latest Social Incubator programme in partnership with startAD, the startup
accelerator powered by Tamkeen and anchored at NYU Abu Dhabi.

Following a successful 9th cohort earlier this year, the theme for this edition will mirror
‘Entrepreneurship for Social Impact’.
The Ma’an Social Incubator is designed to support the development of a vibrant network of social
enterprises that drive social innovation, bring best practices to solve Abu Dhabi's social challenges,
and empower start-ups to develop solutions or services. This, in turn, fosters collaboration,
innovation, and investment across Abu Dhabi’s communities. Applications for this cohort are open
until September 10, 2024.

Start-ups can apply for the programme if their business is aimed at addressing priorities including
People of Determination; Senior Citizens Services; Youth Rehabilitation and Support Services; Blue
Collar Workers Wellbeing; Domestic Violence Victim Support and Advocacy Services; Individual
Reintegration and Rehabilitation, and Economic Empowerment.

The latest cohort is open to all nationalities and ages to encourage a diverse and inclusive range of
founders and innovators who will receive comprehensive support packages to elevate their social
enterprises.
