AHOY, a deep-tech company backed by the GCC, has launched the Startup Builder Initiative with the ambitious goal of supporting 10,000 entrepreneurs and upskilling 30,000 software developers across the MENA region by 2030.

This initiative aligns with the UAE's Ignyte program, which aims to support 100,000 startups, thereby enhancing the entrepreneurial landscape in the region.

Since its inception, AHOY's initiative has already attracted nearly 100 startups from countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt.

The company emphasizes the importance of originality and ambition among founders, seeking to nurture innovative solutions rather than merely incremental improvements on existing models.

As a multi-sector, deep-tech unicorn from the Middle East, AHOY is positioning itself as a key player in shaping the future of intelligent technology and innovation in the region.

AHOY's success will be evaluated based on the quality and global reach of the new companies it helps launch, in addition to their growth and sustainability.

To facilitate this support, AHOY provides its technology stack, talent resources, and funding to startups, encouraging applications through meetups and online forms.
