03 · For public-sector entities

Government challenges

We partner with government entities on challenge-based programmes: a clear public problem, a fast pilot, and a path to a national-scale service.

Model overview

Public services need the reliability of government and the pace of a startup. We work from a challenge statement, design for citizens and residents first, and build pilots that respect procurement, security and data-residency requirements from the start.

Who it's for

Ministries, authorities and government-owned entities pursuing digital transformation, AI adoption or new citizen services.

FAQ

Questions we often hear

What is a venture studio?

A company that builds new companies. Instead of only investing, we bring the team, the playbook and the capital to take an idea to a working business.

Who do you work with?

Founders with deep domain knowledge, enterprises that want to launch new ventures, and government entities with challenges to solve.

How long does it take to launch?

A validated concept usually takes a few weeks; a production MVP follows in a few sprints. Every engagement is scoped up front.

Do you take equity?

It depends on the model. Studio ventures are co-owned; enterprise and government work can be fee-based, equity-based or a mix.

Where are you based?

Our office is at The One Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, and we work with partners across the region.
