Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, one of three chambers operating under the umbrella of Dubai Chambers, and Dubai World Trade Centre(DWTC) have successfully organised a promotional campaign in China to promote this year’s edition of Expand North Star, the world’s largest event for startups and investors, which will be hosted by the chamber at Dubai Harbour from 13 – 16 October.

The chamber held a series of events in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, where it met with more than 330 companies and 19 digital business partners to highlight the benefits of participating in Expand North Star 2024, which is organised by DWTC and hosted by Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy.

The events created impactful platforms for dialogue and networking with Chinese businesses and trade organisations. During the roadshow, the chamber continued to expand its network with new partners in the digital ecosystem and attract more Chinese participants to participate in the exhibition.

The roadshow also featured pitch competitions in each city for companies operating in diverse digital sectors including artificial intelligence, augmented reality, the Internet of Things, blockchain, robotics, network security, smart city technologies, cleantech, and medical technology. The winners of each competition received a fully funded opportunity to participate in Expand North Star 2024, as well entry to the semi-final stage of the Supernova Challenge, which will be held as part of the four-day event.
