Khalifa Fund and 42 Abu Dhabi will continue collaborating through a range of initiatives designed to
empower talents and accelerate venture creation. This includes building a seamless talent-to-
startup pipeline, offering internship and employment pathways, and co-hosting community events,
networking mixers, and demo days. The partnership will also include joint mentorship and training
programs, equipping coders and entrepreneurs alike with the tools to materialise their ideas past
conceptualisation.

Dr. Ahmed Al Shoaibi, Acting CEO of 42 Abu Dhabi, said: “Our partnership with Khalifa Fund to bring
the first-ever Piscine to the Al Ain Region is a powerful step toward widening access to innovative
coding education and entrepreneurship skills. By hosting our Piscine at Khalifa Fund, Al Ain
Campus, we look forward to equipping over 100 participants with in-demand coding skills and
nurturing the entrepreneurial mindset needed to drive real impact within the local ecosystem. This
initiative reflects 42 Abu Dhabi’s continued commitment to empowering talent across the UAE and
building a robust pipeline of innovators who will contribute to the Emirate’s digital transformation.”
Potential applicants who are interested in joining the upcoming ‘Piscine’ can visit 42 Abu Dhabi’s
official website, where they will have to complete 42 Abu Dhabi’s pre-selection ‘Game’ - an online
assessment that evaluates cognitive capacity via logic and memory tests. Following this, they will
attend an in-person check-in discovery session to be briefed on the Piscine and the learning
methodology. Once candidates successfully complete the Piscine, they will be eligible to join the
accredited Diploma in Software Development program offered at 42 Abu Dhabi’s campus in Abu
Dhabi.
