Overview

SCALE7’s Labs Residency is a four- to eight-week creative entrepreneurship route combining instruction with access to creative spaces, collaboration, prototyping, and a closing showcase. It supports aspiring and first-time entrepreneurs translating creative concepts into market-ready propositions. Substantive use of spaces and venture development distinguish the residency from a classroom-only course. Participation requires presence in Qatar for the full residency.

Who it is for

Aspiring or first-time entrepreneurs in design or creative industries, individuals or teams with early concepts or prototypes seeking market validation, and commitment to learning and collaboration. Applicants must be based in Qatar or able to attend the full four- to eight-week residency in person.
