Our Vision

To become the leading inclusive business accelerator in the MENA region,
fostering innovation and social impact.

Our Mission

To enable and empower diverse entrepreneurs to transform innovative ideas into impactful businesses.

Who Are We?

At DOT UP, we believe that innovation and entrepreneurship are key drivers of positive change in society. However, many ambitious young individuals face significant challenges, such as lack of funding, limited mentorship, and insufficient opportunities to enter the market.

That’s why we created DOT UP—a fully integrated incubator and accelerator program with the aim to:

  • Empower young entrepreneurs by equipping them with the skills, resources, and support needed for success.
  • Drive innovation by encouraging projects that address both global and local challenges.
  • Promote inclusivity by providing equal opportunities for women, men, and people with disabilities.
  • Ensure sustainability by offering long-term investments and scalable business models.
