Doers Summit to bring global startup ecosystem to Dubai on Nov 26–27

The global startup community will converge in Dubai later this month for the Doers Summit 2025, a two-day gathering to foster partnerships and innovation across borders.

Organised by The Doers Company, the summit will be held on November 26–27 at Dubai Silicon Oasis, bringing together more than 3,000 founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders from around the world.

The Dubai edition marks a major milestone in The Doers Company’s effort to scale its flagship event into a global platform with active chapters in Athens, Limassol, and Dubai.

“Dubai is the next step in our evolution from hosting an event to creating a movement. Doers Summit exists to turn introductions into deals and playbooks into execution,” said Stylianos Lambrou, CEO and co-founder of The Doers Company.

The summit will feature a global line-up of innovators and thought leaders, including Markus Fuhrmann, co-founder of Delivery Hero; Uri Levine, co-founder of Waze; Alisa Adel from Airbus; Nikos Moraitakis, CEO of Workable; and Demetris Skourides, Chief Scientist for Research and Innovation, Republic of Cyprus.

India will have a prominent presence at the event, with speakers such as former Union Cabinet Minister Suresh Prabhu, Prof. Milind D. Atrey of IIT Bombay, Dr Huzaifa H. Khorakiwala of Wockhardt Limited, Ameya Prabhu of NAFA Capital Group, and Avinash Mudaliar of HTLabs and OTTplay joining the stage.

“This is a great opportunity for Indian startups to showcase their potential on the global stage and foster cross-border collaboration between India and the MENA region,” said Mudaliar.

The two-day program will run across three stages, featuring hands-on sessions, practical case studies, and candid Q&A interactions focused on innovation and scaling.

“Doers Summit is a snapshot of where the world is going. We designed the program for everyone who cares about what works,” said Dusan Duffek, co-founder and board member of The Doers Company.

The summit will feature dedicated networking formats such as founder breakfasts, investor roundtables, rooftop salons, and invite-only mixers.

The Startup Spotlight and Doers Pitch will offer entrepreneurs the chance to present their ideas before an investor jury and pursue follow-up meetings.

Tickets for the Dubai edition are now available at doerssummit.com/city/dubai, offering full access to the program, side events, and expo zones.
