KDSC Kuwaiti Startup Showcase
About the Event
Kuwait's tech scene is heating up! 🇰🇼 This is your chance to meet some of the most exciting new companies emerging from the country.
14 founders from the Kuwait Digital Startup Campus Accelerator Programme are heading to Dubai to connect with investors, local partners and customers. The cohort consists of early-stage startups across healthtech, edtech, martech, automotive, fashion and beauty, cybersecurity and more. For one day only, we're opening the room to a curated guest list. Register your interest now!
Get in early to secure your spot and meet with these companies before everyone else.
The format
60-second pitches. Every startup will deliver a short pitch, so you’ll see the whole cohort in about half an hour and know who you want to talk to.
Investor panel. A candid discussion featuring influential regional voices (TBA).
Time with the founders. An hour of open networking with the companies that caught your eye.
Profiles before you arrive. Confirmed guests will receive a cohort booklet, outlining the startups in advance.
Who should come
Angels, VCs, family offices and corporate investors who want early access to deal flow from Kuwait. Ecosystem partners who can support these startups in expanding across the GCC.
Only 30 places
