Dubai: The world’s largest event for startups and investors, Expand North Star, will be held at Dubai Harbour from October 13–16.
The Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, along with the Dubai World Trade Centre, is one of three chambers that operate under the Dubai Chambers umbrella. The first of many international roadshows to promote the event was successfully organized.
The first of the 2024 international roadshows took place in Poland, where a series of sessions and activities were held at the Google Campus in Warsaw. The two-day event attracted 150 Polish tech companies, who participated in a total of 22 meetings. The event created a valuable platform for discussions and networking opportunities with Polish businesses and trade organizations.
The roadshow included a pitch competition introducing groundbreaking ideas from 10 finalists in the enterprise software, healthcare, real estate, construction, and MedTech sectors. Participants competed for a fully funded market access week in Dubai and a spot in the semi-final of the Supernova Challenge during Expand North Star 2024 to battle for a total cash prize pool of $ 240,000. The winner of the competition was a groundbreaking solution from BrainScan, a Polish Series B startup that is revolutionizing the analysis of human brain CT scans through AI.
The competition was followed by a roundtable session featuring prominent Polish tech enterprises, which highlighted the success stories of local businesses that have expanded into Dubai leveraging the emirate’s dynamic and business-friendly environment.
Poland is the first stop of an engagement campaign aimed at driving participation in Expand North Star 2024, the flagship event organized by the Dubai World Trade Centre and hosted by Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy.
The most anticipated gathering connects the world’s most sought-after startups with innovators, investors, entrepreneurs, and the founders of global success stories to explore exciting growth opportunities emerging in Dubai and catalyze the future of the digital economy.
