Standard Chartered, in collaboration with Village Capital and C3, proudly launches the Seventh edition of the Futuremakers Women in Tech Accelerator in the UAE — a dynamic platform that’s not just supporting women entrepreneurs but transforming the tech landscape.

This isn’t just another accelerator — it’s a launchpad for bold ideas, fearless innovation, and real impact. Designed to fuel sustainable growth and support women building tech-enabled solutions, this initiative creates space for founders to lead with purpose in the UAE’s evolving digital economy. Through this powerful, global program, women founders gain more than just exposure – they gain access to world-class mentorship, expert training, and a supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem. And with USD 150,000 in equity-free prize funding up for grabs, the potential to scale women-led businesses and make a mark has never been greater. If you’re a founder looking to scale your business — now is the time. Let’s shape the future of tech, together.
