Help us build
the corridor.

We're bringing ~15 founders from Frankfurt's tech ecosystem to Dubai for two weeks. We need Dubai-based partners to make it count.

What's in it for you.

This isn't sponsorship-as-usual. You get curated access to a vetted group of European founders — and a front-row seat to the Frankfurt tech ecosystem.

Deal flow

Direct access to founders who are actively expanding, raising, or relocating. No middlemen, no noise.

Brand positioning
