Shared from Dubai Tech X Fund:
We were pleased to host our first-ever Investor Majlis at Dubai Founders HQ, convening leaders from government, corporate, and academia to explore how Dubai can strengthen its research-to-market ecosystem through more structured pathways, aligned capital, and institutional collaboration.
Dubai Tech X is a research-to-market investment platform anchored within the University of Dubai ecosystem, designed to systematically translate research and advanced innovation into scalable, well-governed companies.
Thank you to everyone who joined the dialogue and contributed insights - this is only the beginning of building a more connected, disciplined, and future-focused innovation ecosystem for Dubai.
