Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) has partnered with the UAE–India CEPA Council to launch the UAE–India Start-up Series, a flagship initiative aimed at supporting high-potential Indian start-ups seeking global expansion. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by Yaser Abdulla Al Ahmed, Chief Government and Corporate Relations Officer at RAKEZ, and Ahmed Aljneibi, Director of the CEPA Council.
The Start-up Series is designed to identify and support the internationalisation of promising Indian ventures. After a rigorous evaluation process, 20 start-ups will be shortlisted to participate in a high-profile pitch event in New Delhi, where five winners will be selected to receive incubation support and market access in the UAE. RAKEZ has committed to supporting one of the top five winning start-ups by providing and sponsoring a comprehensive soft-landing package in the UAE.
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to aligning economic policy with entrepreneurial opportunity, creating seamless access for Indian start-ups to enter and grow in the UAE market, and building an ecosystem that helps these ventures thrive and make lasting contributions to the bilateral economic relationship.
