INNOVATION EXPAND
Helping Global Innovators Grow in the UAE
The Posterity Institute, in collaboration with Sustain Labs Paris (SLP) and the Government of Dubai, runs Innovation Expand a program that helps the world’s most innovative ventures expand and establish themselves in the UAE.
The initiative supports global organizations offering transformative products and services, providing them with a soft-landing platform to scale in the UAE — one of the world’s most dynamic innovation and investment hubs.
Through this partnership, Posterity Institute and Sustain Labs Paris (SLP) work closely with Dubai Economy & Tourism to connect innovators with the right funding, partnerships, and policy support needed to thrive in the region.
“We Grow Only If You Grow”
At Posterity Institute and Sustain Labs Paris, we share a simple belief — innovation and sustainability grow through collaboration.
Innovation Expand does not charge any fees or take equity. Instead, we co-invest our time, resources, and networks to help participating ventures establish sustainable, revenue-generating operations in the UAE.
We succeed when our partner ventures succeed
