Fintech Galaxy, the UAE-based open innovation platform, is teaming up with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) to launch a new accelerator program aimed at preparing Arab tech start-ups for cross-border expansion.

The Yalla Xtech program – which will initially focus on Egyptian and Jordanian tech start-ups – is aimed at supporting entrepreneurs and tech start-ups to grow beyond their borders, adding to the start-up ecosystems and especially to innovation, competition and employment efforts in the host countries towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The program will help promote cross-border inclusion and knowledge sharing and provide start-ups with the necessary tools, resources, and network contacts to help them expand to Jordan or Egypt successfully.
