The region needs our ecosystem. Not another accelerator.
That's why we built MENA InsureLab — the connective tissue between insurers, insurtechs, investors, regulators, and the institutional partners who actually move the regional market forward.

Our thesis
The ecosystem layer was the missing piece.
The region already had the ingredients — capital, talent, ambitious insurtechs, large incumbent carriers, supportive regulators. What it didn't have was a connective layer that turned mandates into pilots, capital into commitments, and regulators into pathways.
MENA InsureLab was founded by Aicha to be that layer. We don't replace any part of the ecosystem — we operate between them, translating, sequencing, and underwriting the work that gets cross-stakeholder outcomes done.
The team
Built by operators, not observers.
MENA InsureLab was founded by ecosystem practitioners and venture builders with over a decade of experience launching and scaling incubation, acceleration, and venture programmes across the Gulf, Africa, and Europe.
This isn’t a platform play. It’s a trust network — and trust is built by people who’ve done the work.
- Launched and operated the region’s first dedicated InsurTech accelerator
- Built a network of 4,000+ startups, corporates, and investors across MENA, Africa, and Europe
- Designed and delivered go-to-market programmes for 50+ ventures entering the Gulf
