REACH Middle East Launches Second UAE PropTech Accelerator Backing Startups in a $1.3 Trillion Real Estate Pipeline
REACH Middle East, one of the world's leading proptech accelerator programs, has launched the second edition of its UAE program to support high-potential real estate technology startups and capitalize on the Middle East's $1.3 trillion real estate development pipeline.
The accelerator provides selected startups with funding, tailored mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs and global industry experts, as well as access to extensive regional and international business networks and investor communities. The initiative is designed to help emerging companies accelerate growth, scale their operations, and expand into new markets.
Following the success of its inaugural cohort—which saw participating startups launch new products, secure investment rounds, and significantly expand their customer base—the second cohort will run from November 2026 through August 2027. Applications are now open for innovative startups developing practical solutions to challenges facing the real estate sector, with submissions closing on August 30, 2026.
Aligned with National and Regional Strategies
The program supports national and local initiatives in line with the UAE's Digital Economy Strategy, the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), and the Dubai Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033.
REACH Middle East is backed by the Dubai Land Department, while the program is managed by Second Century Ventures, the world's largest venture capital fund dedicated to proptech. The Dubai Technology Entrepreneur Campus (Dtec) continues to provide workspace and support services for participating startups, reinforcing its commitment to strengthening Dubai's innovation ecosystem. The Dubai Future District Fund also supports the initiative as part of its efforts to accelerate innovation and investment across the real estate sector.
