Expand North Star 2024″ The world’s largest startup in Dubai”

Posted on أكتوبر 18, 2024 by Fatma abdelhamed

Expand North Star 2024: The world’s largest startup and investment event officially underway in Dubai

Expand North Star’s highly anticipated ninth edition takes place at Dubai Harbour from 13-16 October

Acclaimed event brings entire global startup ecosystem to the UAE to accelerate the world’s most sought-after startups towards rapid growth

and development Photo caption: Expand North Star 2024 launch day welcomes the global tech ecosystem,

investors, innovators, and over 100 participating countries Dubai, United Arab Emirates – 13 October 2024:

Expand North Star 2024, the world’s largest startup and investment event,

is officially underway in the UAE as Sunday saw the entire global startup ecosystem enjoy an action-packed opening day at Dubai Harbour.

Hosted by the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy and organised by Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC),

Expand North Star takes place from 13-16 October at the Middle East’s biggest superyacht club.

Already the annual go-to showcase for startups, investors, accelerators,

and tech enthusiasts to source funding, investment deals, and essential industry updates,

Expand North Star 2024 is primed to be the most prominent, dynamic, and influential in its nine-year history.

Seamlessly integrated with GITEX GLOBAL, the event presents an extensive programme

and immersive exhibition with over 1,800 exhibiting startups and more than 1,200 investors with assets under management (AUM) exceeding $1 trillion.

Fascinating first day of record-breaking event Whilst bringing the entire startup ecosystem to the UAE

and accelerating the world’s most sought-after startups towards rapid growth and development,

this year’s edition is also the largest and most international to date with over 100 countries participating.

Expand North Star 2024 hosts its biggest-ever European participation with over 1,000 SMEs

and more than 450 startups from 35 countries across the continent.

Several participated in one of the highlight sessions of “Investor Sunday”

at Expand North Star – ‘Connected for Success: The Power of Cross-border Collaboration in Europe’.

Alongside panellists from France, Italy, Poland, and Portugal, Dr. Sebastian Schäfer,

CEO of House of Finance & Tech Berlin, discussed the future of funding and investments.

Dr. Schäfer called for newfound cross-continental collaboration between European nations,

citing the vast “untapped potential” across the digital space. He said:

“As countries, we don’t collaborate.

We need real joint value propositions for tangible success and use cases that help us to work together.

We have the ingredients needed to competewith the big tech companies from China and the US

– but we need novelty ways to utilise advantages, harness talent,

and create future unicorn factories. There’s so much untapped potential waiting to be explored.”

Expand North Star 2024 also welcomes a wide variety of new exhibiting companies from Central Asia,

Southeast Asia, and Latin America alongside many from the Middle East and Africa.

Bringing together 59 leading unicorns with a combined valuation of $400 billion,

Expand North Star 2024 fosters startup innovation with the all-new NS scaleups.

This programme has been introduced to forge collaborations, stimulate business growth,

and connect late-stage startups with strategic partners, venture capitalists, and clients.

The opportunistic unicorn landscape was explored in another of the opening day’s

standout sessions –‘Climate Tech Unicorns: Valuation, Volatility,

and Venture Capital’.

During the Sunday afternoon talk, Sean O’Sullivan,

Founder of US venture capital firm SOSV – the world’s most active climate tech investor –

addressed the opportunities at hand for the climate tech unicorns of tomorrow.

He said: “Climate change is an urgent, existential crisis for humanity – and unsustainable,

nonsensical business models cannot continue.

There are opportunities for tens of thousands of startups to immediately begin solving our problems and

reinventing society – becoming profitable over time.

Open AI was founded in 2015 and was going nowhere until recently.

Now it’s the most valuable company in the world.

With perseverance, companies can suddenly be worth hundreds of billions – even trillions – of dollars.”

What to watch out for at Expand North Star 2024?

Throughout its four-day duration, Expand North Star casts a unique and insightful spotlight on the future of money,

blockchain, creativity, and the planet through industry-defining events, including GITEX Impact,

Fintech Surge, Future Blockchain Summit, and Marketing Mania.

The inaugural Tech Transfer 3.0 converges leading research labs, visionary scientists, engineers, tech experts,

and academics to demonstrate innovation from concept to real-world applications.

This event welcomes high-tech institutions for the first time – including IE University,

University College London (UCL), Johns Hopkins University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

The globally acclaimed Supernova Challenge 2.0 also presents the best startups from Europe, Asia,

and Africa, building momentum for the new and eagerly awaited GITEX EUROPE Berlin, GITEX ASIA Singapore,

GITEX NIGERIA, and GITEX AFRICA Morocco in 2025.

After six months of semi-finals worldwide,

nearly 200 selected startups will pitch in the global grand finale for a cash prize pool of $200,000.

In a proactive and engaging way to connect the UAE’s youth with Dubai’s economic agenda,

the younger generation will also be in the spotlight through GITEX YouthX Unipreneur with YouthX Talks

and an Educators Innovation Pitch among the schedule highlights.

Expand North Star runs concurrently with GITEX GLOBAL 2024, the world’s largest and

best-rated tech and startup event taking place at DWTC from 14-18 October.

and thousands of visitors from over 100 countries

Dubai, UAE, 16 October 2024: Expand North Star 2024, the world’s largest startup andinvestment event, concluded today, breaking records in international participation and cementing the UAE’s position as the global nexus for technological innovation. The four-daymajor event attracted 1,800 startups, 1,200 investors managing assets exceeding $1 trillion, 59unicorns, and thousands of visitors from over 100 countries, transforming Dubai Harbour intoa bustling hub of cutting-edge technology and groundbreaking ideas.

Organised by Dubai World Trade Centre and hosted by Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, the powerhouse showcase reached the mark of 13,000 concierge-arranged meetings and 88% of startups participating for the first time, offering unrivaled networking opportunities.

Global Innovators Shine at Expand North Star

Expand North Star 2024 became a global innovation hub, bringing startups from all corners of the world,

from Europe, Asia, Africa, and as far as Latin America, as they showcased next-gen technologies—from AI and

quantum computing to sustainable transport and digital health solutions.

Debuting at the event, Austria’s CycloTech GmbH introduced CycloRotors, a sustainable,

electrically powered propulsion system for air mobility vehicles, promising unmatched maneuverability.

German-based Clockin offered small businesses a simple digitalisation tool for managing time tracking,

employee data, and product management. Fabian Ebbert, CSO, Clockin,

said: “Our tech is best for companies with deskless workforce of about 50 employees and provides solutions like

time tracking, employee management, and job cost management.

We came to ENS to understand if there is a need for our product in the UAE,

and it seems like ample small companies haven’t digitalised their processes yet.

So, if things work out well with our new partners, we will expand here.

” From South Korea, EYL Inc. presented its Quantum Random Number Generation chip,

strengthening IoT security by generating powerful encryption keys. Meanwhile, Physio showcased an AI-powered

device for predicting and managing neurodegenerative diseases.

UAE’s Wamda AI wowed with its Sharp Vision camera system, mirroring human vision and extending operational range by up to 100 times,

revolutionising industries like security and smart cities.

AI Sparks Interesting Conversations on Human Creativity at Marketing Mania As AI reshapes media and marketing, big questions loom about the future of human creativity. One of the panels highlighted how consumers must discern quality with an exponential growth in content creators and AI expected to disrupt the industry.

Sir Martin Sorrell, Founder & Executive Chairman of S4 Capital plc, UK, took it further

and said: “Media planning and buying business will turn upside down. There are almost 250,000

people in the big firms who will not have jobs in the next three years for two reasons:

Their tasks are relatively inefficient,

and the second is a lack of transparency.” He closed with a compelling takeaway:

“Learn three languages- Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, and Code.”

This year also saw the debut of Sonar+D Creative Summit, set up in partnership with Sonar,

which brought in a host of technological proposals in an exhibition space.

Prominent speakers across the show discussed the future of creativity.

Among those that took to the stage were, Neil Patel, Co-founder, NP Digital, USA; Mayank Yadav,

Director of Product, Reddit, USA; Andrea Faroppa, Head, Sonar+D, Spain; and Prashant Saran, Director -Operations, Amazon, UAE.

GITEX GLOBAL Paves Way for the Evolution of Deep Tech

Fully aligned with GITEX GLOBAL, Expand North Star placed deep tech at the heart of its
discussions. Thomas Debass, Chief Partnership Officer at the US State Department was
among the speakers who emphasises the importance of deep tech. He said: “This platform is a
public-private partnership in action. The Government of Dubai is hosting the world, and what
impresses me most is Dubai’s vision for the future. This is where the Museum of the Future
exists—not just as a symbol but as a challenge to think about what’s next. Deep tech feels like
the distant future, yet GITEX is making it happen now, even expanding into Morocco.”

Tech Transfer 3.0: Bridging Innovation and Real Innovation

Powered by Deep Tech MENA and GIE (Global Innovation & Entrepreneurship), Expand North
Star also launched Tech Transfer 3.0, a platform bringing together research institutes and
scientists to turn breakthrough innovations into tangible products. Attendees had the chance to
get up close with cutting-edge prototypes and demos from leading institutions like Johns
Hopkins University, Virginia Tech, MIT, IE, and Georgia Tech. These showcased AI based
concepts and STEM research initiatives, fueling the transformation to real world applications.

Spectacular Finale: Holo by Eric Prydz

As Expand North Star 2024 now concluded, the tech fever continues with GITEX GLOBAL, the
world’s largest tech and startup event, which is running until Friday. Swedish DJ Eric Prydz will
take the stage at Expo City Arena on 18 October for the grand finale, debuting his spectacular
