\u201cFor the past 6 years, we have gone from city to city in the MENA and Europe on a mission to build a transnational ecosystem for entrepreneurs, no matter where they come from.<\/p>\n
In a difficult year for the region, we believe there couldn\u2019t be a better time to join forces and connect the visionary entrepreneurs that turn every crisis into an opportunity.<\/p>\n
By bringing startup delegations and investors from all corners of the world, from Italy to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, we are certain that the power that cross-border collaboration can spark is boundless.\u201d says Valentina Primo, founder and CEO of Startups Without Borders.<\/p>\n
One of the most exciting features of the summit is the launch of the AI Salon, a new event format arriving for the first time to the Middle East, in partnership with\u00a0 US-Based VC Blitzscaling Ventures.<\/p>\n
Alongside talks and panels with all-star speakers, the event will host the Investor Room, where 460 meetings were hosted between startups and investors in 2023.<\/p>\n
Startups participate and get matched with an investor according to industry, geography and ticket size, and take part in 101 meetings with investors from leading global VC and investors.<\/p>\n
This year, the summit is also bringing the corporate match-making room, where industry leaders in the corporate space can meet and connect with innovative entrepreneurs, a talent matching area, and scholarships for refugee entrepreneurs in partnership with Netherlands’ Forward Inc.<\/p>\n
