SuiHub MENA partnership with RAK DAO is reshaping the startup landscape across the UAE’s Web3 sector.
This strategic alliance brings regulatory clarity and licensing support to SuiHub MENA’s blockchain accelerator. Over 630 applicants from 152 countries have already shown interest. That level of global traction proves how significant this program has become. As a Free Zone fully dedicated to blockchain innovation, RAK DAO steps in as the ideal enabler. It offers startups access to both legal certainty and vital government partnerships.
The collaboration also aligns with Dubai’s rise as a major global blockchain hub. Sui chose Dubai for its first-ever SuiHub, marking the Emirate as a center for digital progress.
