the pitch

Pitch live to the investors, partners and government leaders who can fund, pilot and scale your startup.

Applications are open for startups building in Dubai’s key sectors of the future. We welcome startups working in climate, food, health, learning, mobility, or energy and water to apply. Shortlisted startups will pitch to the stakeholders who can move these sectors forward: government entities, the private sector and investors.
