Empowering Indian startups: DP world's vision for the India business incubator
DP World, a global leader in trade and logistics, has set its sights on nurturing a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, bringing together innovation, opportunity, and access to a vast network of industry players.
This is the story of the India Business Incubator — a venture designed to redefine the rules of engagement for startups in the region «We launched the India Business Incubator with a clear vision in mind,» says Abdulla Al Hashmi, Chief Operating Officer for Parks & Zones at DP World.
“The primary aim is to offer startups a supportive environment, with low starting costs, a business-friendly regulatory framework, and the flexibility to scale up as their business grows,” said Hashmi.
The incubator, strategically based in Dubai's Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza), operates as a part of the larger Jafza network, providing access to industry events and a valuable community of trading and logistics companies. The ultimate vision behind this initiative is to create a thriving ecosystem where Indian startups can scale up, gain a competitive edge, and successfully navigate the challenging global market.
The DP World India Business Incubator stands apart in the region for two distinct reasons.
First, it focuses on startups operating in the trading, manufacturing, and logistics sectors — sectors that traditionally present significant barriers for small companies due to high initial investments and a steep learning curve. This unique approach aims to simplify entry for these startups, improving their odds of success.
Secondly, DP World goes the extra mile by offering a range of incentives and benefits to startups that join the incubator.
