Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy launched a global competition for advanced digital technologies-based innovative solutions to create a major economic and social impact.
The announcement on the competition, made on the sidelines of GITEX Global 2022, is part of the Chamber’s efforts to attract and support entrepreneurs and tech businesses who are shaping the future of technology and creating a thriving digital economy ecosystem.
Khalid Al Jarwan, executive director of the Chamber, said Dubai was already renowned as a launch pad where startups leverage the emirate as a test bed for high-potential ideas and solutions, as well as a strategic hub to expand their global reach.
“This challenge will raise the bar even higher and cement Dubai’s reputation as a global innovation leader as it is designed to attract high-calibre ideas utilising the latest technologies that can transform industries, economies and societies,” he said.
The challenge is open to startups from the UAE and around the world.
Al Jarwan said the chamber would be accepting applications very soon and the winners will be announced at its upcoming ‘Expand North Star’ summit in Dubai next year.
Expand North Star, slated to be held in May next year, will be a key platform for attracting unicorns and leading digital companies from across the globe.
The summit will also showcase Dubai and the UAE’s competitive advantages and growth opportunities in the digital economy.
The event will offer opportunities for entrepreneurs, innovators, and digital business leaders to connect with potential venture capital investors from around the world.
