Dubai Shark Tank – Where Vision Meets Investment
Dubai Shark Tank is the ultimate platform for ambitious entrepreneurs to showcase their groundbreaking ideas to a panel of elite investors—the Sharks—who are ready to fund the next big thing.
This exclusive investment opportunity is designed for startups and innovators seeking strategic partnerships and financial backing to scale their businesses.
But this isn’t just another pitch event—this is the first-ever program in Dubai dedicated to supporting Arab entrepreneurs while welcoming innovators from all over the world. We believe in fostering a global entrepreneurial ecosystem, with a special emphasis on empowering Arab founders to bring their ideas to life.
​
​
We officially launch in December 2025, but before that, we are opening applications, screening participants, and guiding them through the selection journey to ensure they are fully prepared to meet the Sharks.
The Selection Journey
Getting to the Sharks requires more than just a great idea—it demands preparation, validation, and a strong business case. The process consists of three key stages:
1- Initial Screening by Poweoi
The first step is meeting with the Poweoi team, where we assess your business idea, scalability, and investment potential. This stage ensures that only the most promising startups move forward.
2- Specialized Review by Dubai Shark Experts
Shortlisted entrepreneurs will then face a panel of industry experts from Dubai Shark Tank, who will dive deeper into the business model, market potential, and financial strategy. Their insights will help refine the pitch before the final stage.
3- The Ultimate Pitch – Meeting the Sharks
The final stage is the high-stakes pitch to the Sharks—Dubai’s leading investors, VCs, and industry giants. This is your moment to secure funding, strategic mentorship, and powerful connections that can take your startup to the next level.
​
We are now accepting applications and meeting with selected participants to guide them through the process. This is your chance to be part of history and turn your idea into a global success story.
