Expand North Star — Dubai, 8–10 Dec 2026
Direct answer
The organiser publishes application routes and selected startup success stories, but no complete 2026 startup, investor, corporate or attendee directory is represented as public. Separate 2026 routes exist for visitors, exhibitors, the investor programme and the limited Founder’s Pass. Eligibility, deliverables and price depend on the selected route; no single complete public tariff is represented. Test customer demand separately from fundraising interest

Limits and what this does not prove: All published scale figures cited here describe the 2025 edition, not confirmed 2026 attendance. Application routes do not constitute acceptance or a complete named participant directory. No single complete public tariff covers every visitor, founder, exhibitor and investor product.
