AIM Startup 2019

Launched in 2017, AIM Startup, an initiative of the UAE Ministry of Economy, aims to connect promising startups with investors and business partners from all around the world.

AIM Startup is the ideal platform for startup companies looking to raise capital, expand into new markets and forge meaningful business relationships with major investors, business leaders, representatives of international institutions and government entities.

On April 8-10, AIM Startup will host the Third Edition of its Annual Innovation Showcase and Pitch Competition in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in conjunction with the Annual Investment Meeting and Future Cities Show.

This year, 500+ promising startups will convene under one roof to meet with investors, corporates, government representatives and industry experts and will be given the opportunity to demonstrate their groundbreaking solutions to a global audience over 20,000.

Harnessing Global Digitization to Empower Startups and SMEs

AIM Startup 2019, themed “Harnessing Global Digitization to Empower Startups and SMEs”, will not debate the Sci-Fi like possible future that technology could bring us, but will rather critically discuss the benefits, challenges, and opportunities that being at the frontline of the Industry 4.0 holds.

AIM Startup 2019 brings together policymakers, industry experts, innovative entrepreneurs and financial institutions under one roof with a view to bridging the gap in the utilization of technology and set forth the action plans for the next decade.

Furthermore, the event aims to maximize real and current opportunities at a time when a range of technological ideas are ripe for commercialization.
