Over the years, several startups from our ecosystem have made their mark at GITEX, setting inspiring examples for others to follow:
- For instance, Offee founded by Amit Shah (KJSCE Alumni) was selected to participate in the prestigious Market Access programme, shortlisted to pitch at Expand North Star, and awarded a fully sponsored trip to Dubai in 2023. Their journey — marked by significant milestones, learning, and global exposure — is a true testament to the transformative opportunities that GITEX offers. See more about Offee’s journey here.
- Another success story is Roha Biotech, which participated in the Dubai Expo 2020. They were among the select few startups in the world chosen for the Elevate program at Expo 2020 Dubai, pitching their innovations to a global network of investors. Catch their journey here.
- Most recently, Warpbay represented our ecosystem at GITEX Dubai in October 2024, at Dubai Harbour. Their experience highlighted how startups can gain global visibility and strategic opportunities through platforms like GITEX. Learn more about Warpbay’s experience here.
