NEW QUALITY

OF GROWTH

The SIP creates space and desire to innovate: It creates space, because it is the oasis of minds that connects ecosystem conditions to maintain a healthy habitat for its tribes. It creates desire because, drawing on the UAE values of peace, tolerance, giving and inclusiveness, the SIP trains the new generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and change-makers to increase their ingenuity and aspiration to meet big challenges. The SIP is a cluster of collaborative platforms (tribes) for positive-risk taking, safe innovation and R&D transfer. Through serving as test bed, facilitating higher level of knowledge creation, absorption and dissemination, cross funding, giving and sharing between researchers, students, businesses, government agencies, global nomad entrepreneurs and innovators, the SIP oasis of minds unlocks competitive advantages to the benefit of the tribes. The enabling habitat will help the tribes engage in social and needs-driven innovation and address the region 100 million challenges at large scale for a new quality of growth based on inclusiveness and wellbeing. The SIP would like to develop the following major tribes: (Water Tribe); (Genomics Tribe); (Space Tribe); (100 Million Stars Tribe).

Mentoring & Coaching in P2M Program

Mentors will help entrepreneurs develop their business model, their product, customer validation, their strategy to go to market and to raise funds

The purpose of the mentoring and coaching program is to support participants in their progress throughout the P2M program. The mentoring and coaching program is crucial to avoid mistakes that could cripple the startup if the team was trying to go its own way.

Coaching is more focused on helping entrepreneurs make and develop their product / service. It is the process by which the SIP ensures knowledge dissemination and R&D transfer from its research centers to its startups
