Launchpad Dubai Simplifies Market Entry For Global Startups In Dynamic Ecosystem
The Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, part of Dubai Chambers, introduced its 'Launchpad Dubai' platform at the opening of Expand North Star 2025. This initiative, located at the chamber's pavilion, aims to facilitate a smooth market entry for global startups into Dubai's vibrant ecosystem.
Launchpad Dubai is crafted to ease the process of establishing and expanding businesses in the city. It provides easy access to crucial business services and resources, such as issuing golden visas. This effort aligns with the chamber's goal to attract specialised talent, innovative tech firms, and new digital economy investments to Dubai.

The platform links visiting companies with essential strategic partners. The newly established Dubai Founders HQ (DFHQ) offers entrepreneurs valuable insights and guidance to help them grow in Dubai. Additionally, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Innovation Fund provides funding and business growth support.
Antler plays a role by connecting early-stage founders with investors and offering mentorship. For business setup, representatives from the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) provide guidance and tailored services. Habib Al Mulla and Partners offer legal and advisory assistance on market entry and incorporation.
Expand North Star is a premier global event for startups and investors, showcasing innovation and fostering collaboration within the tech ecosystem. This flagship event is a key component of the chamber's strategy to position Dubai as a leading global hub for innovation and technology.
The event plays a significant role in driving economic growth in the emirate and beyond. Organised by Dubai World Trade Centre and hosted by the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, this year's edition takes place at Dubai Harbour from 12th-15th October 2025.
By providing a dynamic platform for innovation, Expand North Star supports the chamber's efforts to establish Dubai as a global leader in technology. It encourages collaboration among startups and investors, contributing to economic development in the region.
