THE NEXT CHAPTER

Nearly a decade on from our very first event we’re eager to take on the next chapter, embracing a bolder direction - and playing an active role over the next ten years as the industry grows from strength to strength.

Four verticals and 150 squad members later, the Group is present in 6 strategic international markets - Africa, Eurasia, Americas, Asia, Balkans / CIS, and Europe. We’re also focusing on giving back to the communities we work in, building schools where needed the most through our charitable arm the SiGMA Foundation.

Since the 2020 pandemic we’ve set up a VC fund called Ikigai Ventures, where we invest in great founders and incubate entire ideas from the ground up. We have a global mandate, with an investment portfolio that includes frontier tech such as Blockchain and AI.

Drawing the leading figures of the emerging tech world, the expo aims to strengthen connections between policy makers, influencers, and investors, to spark good ideas to life, and to share knowledge. The event offers exceptional opportunities for expanding your network in one of the most-forward thinking regions when it comes to growing your business.

As of 2023 we’re also putting a lot of focus on quality content, bringing some of the industry’s most respected voices to the podium. VIP speakers such as Wolf of Wall Street Jordan Belfort and serial entrepreneur and investor Gary Vee make Dubai an exciting place to be this March.

A business-first approach has stood the emirate in good stead, with a comprehensive $8.7 trillion economic plan aimed at enhancing trade and foreign investment and shaping the country into a global hub for entrepreneurship.

Later on in the year we’ll also be following through on an ambitious plan for several new shows, establishing a foothold in other regions envisaging a similarly bright future, such as Brazil and Manila. We hope to see you then
