Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, one of three chambers operating under the umbrella of Dubai Chambers, has organized a promotional roadshow for ‘Expand North Star 2025’ in Canada with Dubai World Trade Centre.
The chamber is set to host Expand North Star 2025, the flagship event for start ups and investors, at Dubai Harbour from October 12th – 15th, 2025.
The promotional roadshow seeks to build on the success of the Canadian startups that took part in last year’s edition, 67 percent of which have already established their businesses in Dubai. These companies are looking forward to use the emirate as a launchpad for local and regional expansion while forging meaningful partnerships to enhance their operations.
As part of the roadshow, the chamber held a series of events across three Canadian cities, including Toronto, Mississauga, and Vancouver, gathering over 350 founders, investors, accelerators, and policymakers.
The discussions spotlighted Dubai’s status as a global hub for the growth and expansion of digital business, along with the benefits and opportunities available to participants in Expand North Star.
The campaign served as a thriving platform for networking and knowledge exchange, as well as highlighted initiatives that help Canadian companies enter Dubai’s dynamic Dubai market and unlock opportunities within its vibrant digital economy.
Additionally, the chamber emphasized the services it offers to support the Canadian entrepreneurs seeking to expand across various advanced technology sectors in Dubai.
Pitch competitions were also held across the three cities, attracting the participation of 31 innovative startups. Bidblocks, Dia Labs Canada, and Recyclorobo.ai, three companies specializing in artificial intelligence and healthcare technologies, were announced as the winners, with each securing fully funded participation in Expand North Star 2025.
This opportunity offers a unique gateway to access new markets, as well as the chance to compete in the semi-final stage of the Supernova Challenge, which will take place during the event.
The last year’s edition of Expand North Star achieved record-breaking participation with strong engagement from visitors and exhibitors. The event serves as a platform for startups, innovators, investors, entrepreneurs, and business leaders seeking to capitalize on unique growth opportunities in Dubai and shape the future of the digital economy.
