Since its inception in 2015, UAE Innovates has emerged as a prominent innovation event in the Middle East, and I had the privilege of participating in this exceptional gathering at the end of 2023. It was far from your ordinary event, as it served as a meeting ground for brilliant minds aiming to make a significant impact on the Dubai Startup ecosystem.
I am immensely grateful to the 460+ attendees whose presence transformed this event into a vibrant community gathering. Your enthusiasm and energy are propelling us towards creating something extraordinary in the GCC.
From my point of view, Dubai holds unparalleled potential for business launches in the MENA region. While there is always room for improvement in terms of venture capital support, the startup opportunities here are boundless. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Zoe Vatanparast and Ali Khodabandeh for encouraging my participation in this remarkable event. Moreover, I was thrilled to have the chance to meet Jamil Shinawi. I am confident that we will join forces soon.
Now, let me share some exciting news: We have finalized a deal to kick off our Game Studio project in the UAE by February 2024. I am eagerly anticipating the remarkable journey that lies ahead! I extend my sincere appreciation to FiFi and Mostafa Afkhamizadeh for their tremendous efforts over the past year in building decentralized Games with a decentralized team.
The UAE Innovates event was a testament to the dynamic and innovative spirit of the region. It served as a platform to connect, inspire, and drive forward remarkable ideas and ventures. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this event and look forward to the exciting endeavors that await us in the realm of game development and beyond.
