Hub71 is deepening its collaboration with Ireland’s technology and investment landscape through ongoing bilateral exchanges and a new strategic partnership with Venturewave Capital, one of Ireland’s leading private equity and venture capital investment firms.

The partnership also strengthens Hub71’s access to the Irish technology ecosystem, creating new entry points for Irish startups to engage with opportunities in Abu Dhabi and unlock reciprocal opportunities for founders across both markets.

Venturewave becomes Hub71’s first Irish venture capital partner and will play a key role in supporting the growth of startups in priority sectors such as Health, Education, Food & Agriculture, Climate and Sustainable Finance. The firm will also contribute to Hub71’s selection process to evaluate and support entry into Hub71 programmes and work closely with founders seeking to expand into European and North American markets.

Ahmad Ali Alwan, CEO of Hub71, said: “Our engagement with Ireland’s innovation ecosystem continues to deepen following this year’s high-level visits and ongoing collaboration. The partnership with Venturewave Capital strengthens Hub71’s venture network and opens new pathways for founders on both sides to access international markets, capital, and expertise.”

“At Venturewave Capital, we are proud to partner with Hub71 to accelerate our shared mission of driving global impact through innovation. This strategic collaboration within the dynamic ADGM ecosystem reinforces our commitment to backing transformative technology companies that solve real-world challenges. We are especially excited to foster deeper links between the UAE and Ireland as a gateway to Europe, creating new pathways for innovation, capital and cross-border collaboration,” said Alan Foy, Chairman, Venturewave Capital.

Hub71 continues to broaden its international partnerships as part of Abu Dhabi’s strategy to strengthen global innovation connections, support high-impact sectors, and create new opportunities for founders to scale globally.
