Event Highlights

The inaugural meetup in the Intelli.accelerate event series took place on 4th November bringing together founders, mentors, and investors for a focused morning of pitches, learning, and networking. The event began with arrival, registration, and breakfast networking, where attendees connected before settling in for the sessions.

​

The fireside chat “Simplify, Focus, Accelerate” set the tone for the day, followed by a fast-paced 2-minute startup pitch competition. Startups presented their ideas to the panel and audience, leading into a feedback session and the announcement of prize winners.

​

The morning continued with live recordings of the “Vision Voices Middle East” podcast, featuring selected founders. The event concluded with open networking and conversations around collaboration and growth.
