Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy Supports 308 Startups in H1 2025
Dubai’s Chamber of Digital Economy has supported 308 digital startups in H1 2025, up 39% from 2024, through events, roadshows, and access to flagship startup forum Expand North Star.
The Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy supported the establishment and growth of 308 digital startups in the first half of 2025, marking a 39% increase compared to the same period last year.
The initiative reflects Dubai’s push to strengthen its position as a global tech hub. As part of its efforts, the Chamber hosted 10 networking events and organised 15 international roadshows to showcase Dubai’s digital economy. It also offered startups access to Expand North Star 2025, the world’s largest startup and investor event, including entry into the Supernova Challenge, a leading regional pitch competition.
Set to take place in October 2025, Expand North Star will gather global investors, innovators, and industry leaders to connect with emerging startups and accelerate growth opportunities.
