I came across this initiative through conversations with friends about this class and the various projects we’ve looked at throughout the semester and thought it was absolutely fascinating. The initiative is aimed at entrepreneurs who have created or are in the process of creating innovation in the world of digital health. This program acts as an incubator in that it basically just brings the innovators to Dubai and gives them 100 days to focus on launching their ideas. Everything from travel costs to housing to basic capital to start the project is given to these innovators with the caveat being that the project must be ready for investors in 100 days. I found this to be quite impressive because most times when you ask entrepreneurs what their biggest obstacle is they usually say something along the lines of lack of budget or lack of expertise, and this program brings both these things right to them.
