The Abu Dhabi Youth Business Council (ADYBC) has entered into a strategic partnership with Hub71, a prominent tech ecosystem in Abu Dhabi. This collaboration, formalised during Abu Dhabi Finance Week, aims to enhance opportunities for young entrepreneurs and integrate them into the emirate's growing innovation landscape. The agreement was signed by Mansoor Abduljabbar Al Sayegh of ADYBC and Ahmad Ali Alwan of Hub71.

This partnership is part of ADYBC's ongoing efforts to support young founders in establishing and expanding their ventures from Abu Dhabi.

These initiatives highlight the emirate's supportive business environment and infrastructure.

Through this agreement, ADYBC and Hub71 aim to connect young innovators with Abu Dhabi’s tech community. They will work together to strengthen pathways into the startup ecosystem and encourage participation in specialised programmes, mentorship networks, and knowledge-sharing platforms. The goal is to help young talent transition from early ideas to viable businesses.

The collaboration also seeks to broaden access for emerging companies and support youth-led enterprises in scaling their ventures internationally. By creating a structured framework for expertise exchange, the agreement raises the visibility of youth-led ventures and enables wider participation in major economic platforms within Abu Dhabi.

Mansoor Abduljabbar Al Sayegh stated that this agreement is a significant step towards empowering young entrepreneurs in Abu Dhabi. He emphasised that signing it during Abu Dhabi Finance Week highlights the crucial role of youth in the emirate’s economic transformation.
