Hatch Magazine Highlights CureMatch in Dubai
Amanda Caniglia of Hatch Magazine writes about startup CureMatch’s acceptance into the Dubai Future Accelerators program. Navid Alipour, JD/MBA of CureMatch and Analytics Ventures is quoted in the piece:
“The Dubai Future Accelerators program had a less than 1% acceptance rate. They picked companies such as HyperLoop and CureMatch Inc., because their vision is bold. Dubai does everything big, and in the case of CureMatch, they want to make Dubai the epicenter of personalized precision medicine in the region and the world.”
Dubai Future Accelerators is the largest government-supported accelerator that connects the world’s most innovative companies, entrepreneurs, and businesses with leading government departments to create transformational solutions with a global impact. Backed by a 1 Billion AED fund (USD $275M), the uniqueness of this program lies in its drive to not only visualize innovative ideas, but to see them become a reality with an impact regionally and globally. Only 30 companies were accepted into the program out of 2274 applicants from 73 countries. CureMatch is one of only five companies selected from the healthcare space.
