Yachting Ventures is partnering with the Abu Dhabi International Boat Show for a second year, to present an Innovation Zone, showcasing at least 12 startups at the forefront of leisure marine innovation. This year, the focus expands beyond CleanTech to encompass the entire innovation ecosystem within the leisure marine industry. Yachting Ventures is inviting startups across leisure marine, cleantech and blue economy sectors to exhibit.
The exhibit will harbour vital discussions surrounding the future of the marine industry, promoting collaboration, education and networking, with this edition of ADIBS designating a central space for the Innovation Zone within the show.
This year, Yachting Ventures is adopting a tiered strategy to make the event more accessible and accommodate startups at various growth stages. The two tiers, Basic and Premium, offer different levels of participation. The Premium Package includes an exhibition stand and speaking slot on the Capital Stage, while the Basic Package includes access to the Innovation Lounge for meetings, and the option to use the Innovation Zone as their base throughout the show.
Why Exhibit?
Participation in the Innovation Zone presents a unique opportunity to gain exposure, access industry networks, investors and receive valuable feedback from key industry professionals from across the GCC and Middle East.
In recent years, the UAE has established itself as a destination for entrepreneurs. The UAE is now considered to be the world’s second most stable economy and one of the safest cities in the world. Other benefits for startups include an incredibly diverse society of over 200 nationalities and ease of travel, with 80% of the world population within an 8-hour flight.
