Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ), the Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) \u2013 the specialised economic zone for knowledge and innovation \u2013 and a member of DIEZ, today announced it will host the second edition of Doers Summit Dubai 2026 from 24-26 November.<\/p>\n

The summit aims to bring together founders, scaleups, investors, corporates and ecosystem leaders from around the world\u00a0to unlock\u00a0new business connections, drive strategic partnerships\u00a0and facilitate market-entry opportunities. The summit will reinforce Dubai\u2019s position as a global platform integrating innovation, capital and enterprise, connecting high-growth companies with regional and international growth opportunities.<\/p>\n

Designed around the theme \u201cWhere Doers and Investors Build What\u2019s Next\u201d<\/b><\/strong>, the 2026 edition will feature high-growth technology companies and investment leaders from Europe, the GCC, Asia, Africa and emerging innovation hubs globally. Over three days, the event serves as a curated platform for companies exploring international expansion, investors seeking cross-border growth opportunities, and ecosystem leaders building new corridors between Dubai and the world\u2019s most dynamic innovation markets.<\/p>\n

Building on the success of the inaugural 2025 Middle East edition, which brought together more than 4,000 attendees from across 115 countries<\/b><\/strong>, including founders, investors and ecosystem leaders, the inaugural event featured keynotes, panel discussions, investor meetings, workshops and curated networking sessions focused on scaling innovation and cross-border collaboration.<\/p>\n

The 2026 edition further expands its scope and ambition, returning as a global platform with a strengthened focus and a more dynamic format designed to turn dialogue into impact. It also aims to\u00a0reinforce\u00a0Dubai\u2019s key role\u00a0as a strategic gateway\u00a0between\u00a0Europe, the GCC, Asia and the Global South, while showcasing how Dubai Silicon Oasis and District IO enable technology companies to enter, scale and grow across regional markets.<\/p>\n

The Doers Summit Dubai<\/a> 2026 will go beyond highlighting the latest technology trends and will focus instead on how technology is applied in real markets, how companies expand across regions, how partnerships are formed, and how founders and investors move from ideas to execution.<\/p>\n

The summit will feature a restructured programme across two main stages, <\/b><\/strong>combined with interactive networking and engagement formats across the venue. Shifting away from passive conference formats, the summit will place greater emphasis on masterclasses, workshops, roundtables, curated networking sessions, ecosystem meetups, private discussions and experiential activations<\/b><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The content programme will balance inspirational future-focused conversations with practical discussions on company building, market entry and international growth. Core themes will include AI and frontier technologies, deeptech, climate and sustainability, longevity, fintech, digital infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, mobility, robotics and future industries<\/b><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The summit will also feature CarryON Dubai<\/b><\/strong>; an investor intelligence summit focused on the capital side of the ecosystem. CarryON Dubai will bring together institutional investors, family offices, venture funds, growth investors and selected founders for private and curated discussions around direct investment opportunities, strategic partnerships, cross-border expansion and long-term value creation.<\/p>\n

Badr Buhannad, Director General of Dubai Silicon Oasis<\/b><\/strong>: \u201cFollowing last year\u2019s successful edition, which highlighted the growing importance of platforms that accelerate cross-border collaboration and knowledge exchange across innovation ecosystems, hosting Doers Summit Dubai 2026 reflects Dubai\u2019s ongoing commitment to shaping a global ecosystem where ideas are translated into impact. It also reflects Dubai Silicon Oasis\u2019 continued efforts to advance the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 by strengthening Dubai\u2019s position as a global hub for innovation, investment and enterprise, and enabling high-impact collaboration between founders, investors and ecosystem leaders from key international markets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stylianos Lambrou, Founder and CEO of The Doers Company:<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0\u201cDoers Summit is built around people who turn ideas into companies, technologies into products and conversations into partnerships. The 2026 Dubai edition will be more global, more interactive and more focused on practical outcomes. It will not only look at what is next in technology, but in a true Doers spirit, at how founders, investors and corporates can actually build it, fund it and scale it across markets.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
