Startups all around the globe have a golden chance to pitch their ideas to the world. Expo 2020 Dubai will highlight startups as one of the conference’s six multidimensional pillars at the Dubai Exhibition Center. It is time for the startups at AIM to gear up and take the center stage at Dubai.
Startups from around the world are gearing up for the 10th Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) in the United Arab Emirates, where the government hopes to attract 20 unicorns worth $1 billion each by 2031.
The UAE Ministry of Economy’s AIM 2022 conference, which will be held at the Dubai Exhibition Center during Expo 2020 Dubai, will highlight startups as one of the conference’s six diverse pillars.
Vision
This is in appreciation of their contribution to boosting investment activities, fortifying new industries, and generating novel ideas. The Startup Pillar will concentrate on the sector’s prospects as well as the obstacles that many entrepreneurs face today. It is primarily intended to assist investors in the development of early-stage venture capital or seed money for the start-up of a business.
AIM (Annual Investment Meeting)
AIM Challenge Network is a corporate training, talent development, and management consulting firm with the objective of transforming each training solution into a growth and value-added experience.
They have over 20 years of international experience working with clients across a variety of industries. Our company has been active in Dubai since 2015, with a global headquarters in Rome and ten offices in seven countries. The AIM Summit is a debate forum for investment advancements, worldwide market circumstances, and emerging trends.
Startups At AIM
Many startups have the ability to influence the future of global business by offering new and novel business models. As a result, AIM provides an ideal venue for them to interact with potential partners and investors and take important steps toward success.
The summit will also highlight how the startup community continues to build a name for itself around the world, despite never-ending technical advancements and the emergence of intelligent tools. According to publicly available data, the cumulative worth of the world’s 475 “unicorns,” or high-valued businesses, was $1.394 trillion in 2020 for startups at AIM.
Startup Pillars
Pre-conference workshops, panel discussions, and dialogues with global leaders will be held under the Startup Pillar to shine light on sustainable investments, explain startup techniques, and focus on accelerators and incubators. The learning and networking opportunities at AIM will assist them in laying the foundation for their success.
This pillar will assist eager investors looking for new avenues and projects to engage in sustainable and innovative development, as well as governments looking for new projects with significant economic benefits.
The proper use of the ‘Lean Startup Methodology,’ which is critical for meeting customer needs and lowering failure rates, as well as the adoption of a dynamic risk mitigation approach, will be discussed.
Besides the Startup Pillar, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Small and Medium Enterprises (SME), Future Cities, Foreign Portfolio Investment, and the 50 Projects programme are the other pillars.
Lean Startup Methodology
The Lean Startup is a scientific approach to building and managing startups that focuses on getting a desired product into the hands of customers as quickly as possible. The Lean Startup technique teaches you how to guide a startup, when to turn, and when to persevere, and how to create a firm as quickly as possible. It’s a methodical technique to develop new products.
Many businesses start with a product idea that they believe consumers would want. They then spend months, if not years, developing that product without ever displaying it to a potential buyer, even in its most basic form. When companies fail to gain widespread client acceptance, it’s usually because they never spoke to potential customers to establish whether or not the product was appealing. Customers’ indifference finally communicates that they don’t care about the idea, and the startup collapses.
AIM’s Mission
A startup pitch competition will be held at this year’s AIM. A shortlist of businesses will be invited to present their business plans to a panel of judges who are professionals in entrepreneurship, technology, and business management. Winning firms will get the opportunity to be mentored by industry experts and maximize their chances of obtaining funding.
AIM has long been regarded as one of the world’s most exclusive investment events, attracting notable political, economic, financial, and academic figures. The 2022 edition will feature prominent dignitaries, chiefs of state, key politicians, and investors, and will be held under the subject “Investments in Sustainable Innovation for a Thriving Future.”
