Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, one of the three chambers operating under Dubai Chambers, will welcome innovative entrepreneurs, influential investors, and global business leaders to Expand North Star, the world’s largest gathering for start-ups.

This year’s event introduces Launchpad Dubai, a new platform aimed at accelerating the growth and expansion of global tech companies in Dubai including start-ups, fast-growing start-ups and billionaire unicorns.

The initiative offers convenient access to visa applications, banking and judicial services, housing, talent, and other essential services required to set up a new company through a single convenient platform.

The Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy stand at Expand North Star will be the main venue to access Launchpad Dubai services, hosting individual booths for partner organisations. Local and international digital companies can initiate the process of obtaining partner services at the stand. Participants who meet the requirements can also start their application process for a Golden Visa, a long-term residence visa that offers a host of exclusive benefits.

More than 1,800 startups from over 100 countries will participate in Expand North Star, connecting the world's most sought-after start-ups with innovators, investors, entrepreneurs, and the founders of global success stories. Over 1,000 investors with a combined total of over $1 trillion under management are heading to Dubai, which is rapidly emerging as the heart of the world's digital economy.

The four-day event kicks off tomorrow at Dubai Harbour and will run from October 15-18. Expand North Star builds on the success of last year, which led to the launch of around 150 start-ups in the UAE as a direct result of deals signed during the exhibition.
