The AstroLabs Digital Upskill and Startup Acceleration Scholarships

Overview

AstroLabs is the capability building company for the innovators of MENA.

Since 2013, we have upskilled thousands of alumni through our Academy and partnered with the largest organizations in the region to enable their digital transformations. From offering broad-scale enterprise training to managed incubators and accelerators, we design and deploy custom programs for corporates, universities, and government entities. We are also growing the innovation economy in the region by supporting hundreds of global ventures and entrepreneurs with local business licensing and coworking at our network of collaborative spaces in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Our mission has always been to develop and grow the digital ecosystem of the MENA region and we’re excited to partner with Google for Startups to launch these two Scholarship Programs to further support this mission.
