H.E. Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri also met with a number of Emirati entrepreneurs at Dtec, listened to their
inspiring experiences and challenges in developing their projects, and affirmed the Ministry’s commitment
to continuing cooperation with partners in the public and private sectors to provide solutions to the
challenges facing entrepreneurs and enable them to achieve their ambitions, thereby enhancing the

UAE’s position as a preferred global destination for startups and innovators.

The list of Emirati startups included “Baytukum,” one of the first national platforms specializing in real

estate crowdfunding, “Check In Portal,” which offers innovative digital solutions in website design, as well
as several other startups based at Dtec. These projects exemplify inspiring models of Emirati
entrepreneurship based on innovation, knowledge, and technology.

A Strategic Step

The agreement represents a pivotal step towards enhancing the integration of efforts between the
government and semi-government sectors to support the national entrepreneurship ecosystem, by
unifying initiatives and programs aimed at equipping entrepreneurs, facilitating their access to markets

and investors, and developing innovative solutions to boost the productivity of start-ups and increase their
chances of success in the new economy driven by technology and innovation.

The “The Emirates: The Startup Capital of the World” seeks to reinforce the UAE’s position as a global
destination for entrepreneurship, under the supervision of the Ministry of Economy and Tourism, in
collaboration with the UAE Government Media Office, and with the participation of the UAE Council for
Entrepreneurship and more than 50 government and private entities, business incubators, accelerators,

and academic institutions.
