To take place on 23 June at the Dubai Knowledge Village Auditorium, DemoCamp Dubai returns with an even stronger selection of technology innovators in the region than ever before. With the chance to demonstrate their business ideas and models, tech demonstrators will speak before an audience of technology enthusiasts, potential venture capitalists and angel investors looking for new projects and partnerships.
Following the high turnout at the most recent DemoCamp Dubai, the event should draw attention from individuals with a flair for entrepreneurship and talent to integrate their business model with modern forms of communication technology. From web to mobile applications, English to Arabic content, reaching either the local or regional markets, DemoCamp Dubai offers individuals the opportunity to share their ideas and be ready to receive valuable feedback from a keen audience and experience the world of online entrepreneurship.
DemoCamp has already been hailed a success across the globe, particularly in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Canada. More importantly, it has facilitated a vast number of technopreneurs to demonstrate their products through working software, hardware, and network services.
Malek Al Malek, Managing Director, Dubai Internet City and Dubai Outsource Zone, said:
The positive feedback received at previous DemoCamp Dubai reflects a strong demand for entrepreneurs in need of a platform where they can showcase their business ideas through technological innovations.
