Accelerator
SCALE7 Cultural and Creative Industries Hub
Qatar Development Bank’s creative and cultural industries hub supports creative entrepreneurs through pre-acceleration, acceleration, prototyping spaces, and a Labs Residency.
About
SCALE7 is evolving into Qatar’s Cultural and Creative Industries Hub. Its pre-acceleration route targets MVP-ready businesses with early users; acceleration targets live products with paying customers and revenue. Both require at least one fully committed team member and establishment, or planned establishment, as a Qatari entity during participation.
Participants pitch to the CCIH committee for a potential milestone-based equity investment. This is a selected opportunity rather than guaranteed funding. The Labs Residency offers four to eight weeks of expert sessions, workshops, creative spaces, and a showcase for Qatar-based or in-person-attending aspiring entrepreneurs. Its four-day hackathon is a separate Event.
