Abu Dhabi’s Tech Launchpad Booming in 2025
Unleashing Web3, AI & ClimateTech Innovation in the UAE’s Global Financial Powerhouse
Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) is currently undergoing a transformation with the tremendous growth of ADGM Hub71, which has been renamed ADGM Hub71+, as it enters the next generation of innovation ecosystems to change the future of startups in the UAE. As ADGM Hub71+ looks toward the future, it is becoming the sole destination for emerging sectors such as Web3, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and ClimateTech, and the startups not only did they get resources, but also a powerful platform from Abu Dhabi when scaling globally.
ADGM Hub71+ is located at the heart of ADGM, on Al Maryah Island, which has a regulatory environment and framework based on English common law, as well as being one of the world’s most internationally aligned, entrepreneur-friendly and investor-secure free zones. Startups that have included ADGM Hub71+ are starting up in a strong environment supported by government initiatives, world-class infrastructure, and the support of Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth funds and global corporate partners.
Another significant differentiator is that ADGM Hub71+ is not just about office space and sensibly providing access to funding for startups; it’s about creating real impact initiatives through real collaboration, mentoring, partnerships, and entrepreneurial innovation that leads to real support for startups. Overall in the ecosystem, a startup is able to access capital, exposure, and operational support that would have taken years to cultivate without the framework that surrounds them under ADGM Hub71. To put this into context, companies that are part of ADGM Hub71 have raised over $2.17 billion in funding to date, which shows how much confidence investors have in the ecosystem. With ADGM expanding its jurisdiction and commercial real estate, and ADGM Hub71+ continuing to push the edge across emerging tech verticals, the opportunity to support growth in Abu Dhabi has never been greater.
If you are a founder, technology entrepreneur, or venture capital leader who is looking for a resilient ecosystem in the UAE, ADGM Hub71+ is not just a choice—it is the frontier of innovation in the region
