Testimonials

Although we already had a big focus on the InsureTech market in MENA, the Future Now programme enabled us to rapidly accelerate our growth. This was not only due to their vast network of top-notch mentors, but also their great expertise and valuable input. Being part of the programme has opened doors for us in the UAE market in a relatively shorter amount of time than we could have achieved organically – The Future Now programme played a part in taking Audace Labs where it is today, and if utilised correctly, it's an indispensable tool that can help your start up succeed too.

FutureNow has contributed to a better understanding of Dubai’s innovation ecosystem and have the chance to work with Etisalat Digital to build an outstanding Cloud project to deliver cloud services in the UAE. The program has served as an excellent opportunity to learn about businesses in Dubai, which has given great insights in order to provide customized services.
