Event Highlights

The Accelerate Your Business with IntelliAccelerate meetup on 4th November brought 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.

Pitch Competition Winner
