Dubai - Mubasher: AIM Startup will launch its third edition during the period from 8 to 10 April 2019 at the Dubai World Trade Center in the UAE, according to a recent statement.

The global event co-located with Annual Investment Meeting (AIM Congress) will gather more than 500 startups and SMEs in partnership with the UAE economy ministry’s National Program for Small and Medium Enterprises and Projects.

The exhibitors are expected to showcase innovative solutions, present investment opportunities, make partners, in addition to sharing knowledge with business leaders and mentors among an audience of investors, industry pioneers, thought leaders, and government officials from across the globe.

The three-day event is also shortlisting eligible startups to enter an exclusive pitch competition, attract capital investment, as well as offering a chance to win cash prizes for the winning projects.

“Entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs are a formidable engine of growth for our economy and our country. They are also the first responders when innovation is required to address challenges in administration, business or our day to day lives. AIM Startup is an excellent opportunity to encourage them and celebrate their achievements,” director of National Program for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and Projects Adeeb Alafeefi said.
