Dubai Future Week will host the Future Projects Platform from November 18 to 21, 2026, giving Dubai-based startups and entrepreneurs a chance to present products, prototypes and ideas at Emirates Towers and the Museum of the Future.
Organised by Dubai Future Foundation under the theme “For the Human of the Future,” the platform will focus on six areas: climate-resilient infrastructure, supply chain and food resilience, human development and learning, urban living systems, longevity and preventive healthcare, and energy and water resources.
Selected startups will showcase their ideas and prototypes over three days, with opportunities to connect with investors, experts, partners, government entities and sector leaders. The programme will also include workshops and roundtable discussions.
The strongest participating startups will advance to a Shark Tank session on the platform’s final day. The judging panel includes Abdullah Alashram, CEO of AMA Group; Mohammed Al Zaabi, CEO of OBK Investment Group; Mona Ataya, founder and CEO of Mumzworld; and Abdullah Abu Sheik, founder of Mal.
According to the announcement, the opportunity is open to startups headquartered in Dubai with a functioning product, prototype or promising idea relevant to the UAE or global markets.
