Fikra Labs

Fikra Labs is an initiative led by Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company, Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism, Etihad Aviation Group, and Miral. The goal of the initiative is to help MENA-based startups come up with innovative solutions to address the challenges faced by the tourism and travel industries in the Emirate.

Applicants with the highest scores will be invited to a 30-minute interview to check if they have the required technical and leadership skills, the motivation, the commitment, and the needed resilience to make their startups successful.

The bootcamp’s participants will pitch their business ideas to the screening committee, which will then choose 12 startups to join the four-week acceleration program (3 for each challenge). A winner for each challenge will be selected by the relevant partner and will be awarded $100,000. Register here before 5th of March.
