Representative participants included Redwit, which creates blockchain-based software, Wizchem, which manufactures medical devices and cosmetic raw materials, Stone Lab, which provides medical devices and healthcare solutions and in addition, Hayan Mind, Light Beyond Drones, EMCT, IOPs, Carbo Expert, XMW, R&D Project also participated in the program. The companies underwent rigorous mentoring and exclusive lectures on the Dubai ecosystem and market dynamics, with the program culminating in an on-site event in Dubai. After the company diagnosis, each participant underwent through catered training, received mentoring for business models, perfected Investor Relations (IR) decks customized to the Dubai ecosystem, gained insights into the Dubai market for investments, and were also equipped with IR videos for easier communication with investors.

The on-site schedule from October 13th to 18th, included acceleration programs and buyers matching session at IN5tech, global demo days at Astrolabs, and an insightful visit to GITEX, the world’s largest tech and startup show where companies had the chance to explore not only the latest pioneering technologies in the world but also opportunity to find partners for present and future collaborations.

Around 90 follow-up matchings with investors were conducted leading to events such as signing MOUs and LOIs.

The initiative was further enriched by the active participation of investors and esteemed guests. Special recognition goes to AGCC’s Managing Partners, Chiara de Caro and Han Gust, for facilitating key meetings with industry leaders such as Talabat’s CEO, Tomaso Rodriguez, and the DMCC (Dubai Government Authority).

A heartfelt appreciation is extended to Rekha Setpal from in5 Dubai for sharing her invaluable knowledge with the delegations.
