Startup Accelerator Launched by Dubai Land Department

The Dubai Land Department is launching the Reach Middle East accelerator program, a proptech initiative offering up to $250,000 in seed capital to selected startups. In partnership with Second Century Ventures, the program aims to support the growth of innovative real estate technology companies. The program will span eight months and provide mentorship and networking opportunities to help startups flourish.

Reach Middle East is seeking revenue-generating startups (seed to Series A) focused on real estate, construction, sustainability, or property management. The program is particularly interested in companies leveraging technologies like AI, IoT, or blockchain with scalable business models. The program will be led by proptech experts Siddiq Farid and Karim Helal.

Selected startups will receive direct funding up to $250,000, introductions to investors, and opportunities for follow-on funding. They will also collaborate with leading developers, government bodies, and facility managers to pilot and commercialize their solutions. Participants will gain insights from industry veterans and access Reach’s extensive network of over 330 alumni companies. This initiative aligns with the Dubai Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033, which aims to significantly boost the economy.
