Speed Matching and Finding Business Buddy

Networking in Dubai often means collecting cards you never follow up on. This evening is built differently.

Over two structured hours at Protected content you'll move through timed one-on-one rounds with other founders, freelancers, investors and professionals from the InterNations UAE Business & Start-up community. Every few minutes you meet someone new — no hovering at the edge of the room, no wondering who to approach.

The second half is where it gets interesting. We'll help you find your Business Buddy: one person to stay accountable with after tonight. Someone to review your pitch deck, introduce you to their network, or simply check in on the goal you keep postponing. You leave with a name in your calendar, not just a stack of cards.

Whether you're pre-launch, scaling, or exploring your next move, come with something you need help with — and something you can offer in return.
