Expand North Star 2025: Dubai's Gateway to Global Startup Success
The 10th edition of Expand North Star (ENS), a global hub for innovators, is set to take place in Dubai. This year's event, hosted by the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, promises to be bigger and more impactful than ever.
ENS 2025 will span over four days, featuring keynote addresses, fireside chats, and panel discussions. Themes will include the latest advancements in AI, fintech, and robotics. Over 1,800 startups will have the opportunity to pitch to more than 1,000 investors, making it a significant platform for networking and investment.
The event will also host focused events such as ScaleX, Consumer Tech Zone, North Star Green Impact, and Deeptech MEA Summit. Dubai, once just a stop on the global circuit for Indian founders, has evolved into a place where ambitions turn into partnerships, capital, and scale. It serves as the ideal gateway for Indian startups to enter the MENA markets, worth over $4 trillion. The UAE-India initiatives provide startups with a guided path into the Gulf, turning Dubai from a long-haul detour into a first global step.
ENS has a proven track record of success. In the past decade, nearly 800 Indian exhibitors and ecosystem partners have participated. Notable startups like Zaara Biotech, FreshCraft Technologies, Machbee Innovations, and ShopDoc have benefited from the event, with Zaara Biotech securing a $10 Mn investment from TCN International after pitching at ENS.
With over 1,800 startups pitching to investors and a focus on AI, fintech, and robotics, ENS 2025 is set to be a game-changer. Dubai's role as a global hub for innovation and a gateway to the MENA markets is cemented, making this event a must-attend for any startup looking to make its mark on the global stage.
