The accelerator targets startups with pre-token minimum viable products (MVPs). Selected teams will receive up to $200,000, with funding linked to development milestones. Participants will also gain access to technical and strategic resources to advance their work.

In return, SuiHub will take equity in admitted projects, ensuring a collaborative approach toward building the blockchain ecosystem.

Strengthening Blockchain Development in MENA

SuiHub collaborates with the Ghaf Group, a Dubai-based Web3-focused capital firm, to enhance blockchain innovation across the region. Additionally, the program provides guidance through Ghaf Studios, focusing on fundraising, tokenomics, and marketing strategies.

Speaking about the initiative, Mysten Labs co-founder Kostas Chalkias emphasized its goal:

“The launch of our accelerator program marks a pivotal step in empowering the next wave of innovators. At SuiHub, we are not just building projects; we are fostering a thriving ecosystem where groundbreaking ideas meet unparalleled mentorship and resources.”

Global Partnerships Expand Resources

Participants will also benefit from partnerships with global firms. Brinc, a venture capital and accelerator company, offers expertise in forming partnerships and navigating business challenges.

In addition, token listing platform CoinList will host a token launch workshop, providing tailored guidance and exposure to its 10 million users, enhancing visibility for participating projects.
