What is a DIFC Technology Startup License?
The DIFC started by attracting financial technology, or Fintech players into its DIFC Fintech Hive, which is an accelerator that just completed its third cohort, with over 30 fintech companies. It quickly extended the benefits of a startup license to all kinds of tech startups – fintech, edutech, regtech, and all technology-based startups that wish to cater to the region.
The DIFC tech startup license offers heavily discounted initial and ongoing fees, world-class co-working spaces at low costs, and an ecosystem of fellow technology firms, seed and angel investors, and access to the leading venture capital firms in the region.
