If you’re business savvy and a tad bit obsessed with startups, then you probably already have an idea of what the region needs.

One of ArabNet’s signature yearly competitions, named the “Startup Battle,” took place on Monday at the In5 Innovation Center in Dubai’s Internet City. 

Created by ArabNet, the competition aims to reveal the region’s best startups to an interested panel of investors, incubators, media and digital professionals – all things digital.

2. Yalla Parking – UAE

Ever showed up somewhere while you’re already running late and couldn’t find a parking spot? Dubai is infamously known for this. 

So, Yalla Parking helps you out before you even reach your destination. 

Kinda perfect for the city’s current parking sitch. 

People can apparently rent out unused parking spaces from specific locations via the app. Or if you’re looking to make some quick cash, you can even earn money by renting out your unwanted parking space.
