The IPHatch Middle East offers start-ups a transformative opportunity to access valuable patents from leading global technology companies and accelerate their innovation journey.
The main focus areas of the program include strengthening start-up credibility through technology acquisitions, licensing, and collaboration with major international companies, educating local start-ups via mentorship programs to develop business plans suitable for overseas markets, and providing funding opportunities through matching with domestic and international venture capitalists via partners and workshops.
Start-ups that are shortlisted after the IPHatch® Pitch Day are awarded patents upon completing an agreement signing and certificate issuance ceremony, officially recognizing them as winners of the competition.
Winning start-ups gain access to a Business Model Review session with in-house professionals trained at Harvard, who guide them on leveraging the awarded intellectual property. Additional benefits include invitations to networking events and introductions to potential venture capital partners.
The program is designed to support start-ups in building scalable business models, accessing strategic mentorship, and creating opportunities for international growth while utilizing cutting-edge patented technologies.
By participating in IPHatch®, start-ups can strengthen their market position, gain credibility, and develop meaningful connections with global investors and partners, enhancing their potential for success in competitive markets.
