Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ), the Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) – the specialised economic zone for knowledge and innovation – and a member of DIEZ, today announced it will host the second edition of Doers Summit Dubai 2026 from 24-26 November.

The summit aims to bring together founders, scaleups, investors, corporates and ecosystem leaders from around the world to unlock new business connections, drive strategic partnerships and facilitate market-entry opportunities. The summit will reinforce Dubai’s position as a global platform integrating innovation, capital and enterprise, connecting high-growth companies with regional and international growth opportunities.

Designed around the theme “Where Doers and Investors Build What’s Next”, the 2026 edition will feature high-growth technology companies and investment leaders from Europe, the GCC, Asia, Africa and emerging innovation hubs globally. Over three days, the event serves as a curated platform for companies exploring international expansion, investors seeking cross-border growth opportunities, and ecosystem leaders building new corridors between Dubai and the world’s most dynamic innovation markets.

Building on the success of the inaugural 2025 Middle East edition, which brought together more than 4,000 attendees from across 115 countries, including founders, investors and ecosystem leaders, the inaugural event featured keynotes, panel discussions, investor meetings, workshops and curated networking sessions focused on scaling innovation and cross-border collaboration.
