The seventh edition of the world-renowned flagship Global Blockchain Congress by Agora Group is taking place on June 21 and 22, 2021, in Dubai. This edition’s theme is “Celebrating DeFi and NFTs” and will boast an amazing line up of speakers including keynote addresses by His Excellency Ahmed Bin Sulayem, executive chairman and CEO of Dubai Multi Commodities Centre; Hubertus Thonhauser, chairman of the board at the Tezos Foundation; Fiorenzo Manganiello, partner at Lian Group and many others.
The event is an exclusive closed-door congress that can be attended by invitation only. Agora will be hosting more than 100 investors and 30 sponsors.
The first six editions of the Global Blockchain congress were a tremendous success, and we were able to host more than 450 investors and more than 90 blockchain startups and were able to raise millions of dollars in funds for our participating projects.
This is an exclusive closed-door congress to connect startups with investors and secure funds.
Startup founders from all over the world need financial advocates on their side. Raising funds and receiving funding are vital to the growth and success of startups. Now is the right time for international startups to tap into a pool of highly engaged investors from the MENA region who are actively looking to invest in exciting and promising companies.
“Pitches are good and all, but have you ever sat at a table for 8 hours with 30-minute one-on-one meetings with 50 rotating investors? Agora is next level. I went to this conference last year, and it was like speed dating with investors. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD BE. If you’re in Dubai or can get there and are looking to raise funds for your project, this is your jam.”
