Hub71, Abu Dhabi's global tech ecosystem, has signed its first US-based partnership with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA), establishing a new bridge for high growth startups to scale across the Atlantic.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi Investment Forum (ADIF) in New York. The agreement sets the foundation for reciprocal access between Abu Dhabi and New Jersey's startup ecosystems, enabling founders to scale internationally. The agreement further strengthens the US-UAE strategic cooperation across high-impact sectors such as Al and clean energy.

Through joint programming, market visits and facilitated introductions to investors, regulators and corporates, startups will benefit from soft-landing support in each market. With targeted backing from both ecosystems, founders will gain access to new customer bases, capital opportunities and tailored expertise to accelerate commercial success.
