Startups from Central Asia presented their projects at the Demo Day of Tumar Innovation Hub in Dubai

On November 20, as part of Investor Day 2025 in Dubai, a Demo Day was held — the final event of the second acceleration program, Scale Up Program, implemented by Tumar Innovation Hub. Startups from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan presented their technological solutions to investors and ecosystem representatives from the UAE.

During the program, participants strengthened their products, went through mentoring tracks, and prepared for market entry in the GCC. The Demo Day became a demonstration of achieved progress and a platform for developing new partnerships in the UAE.

Among the guests were representatives of the Embassy of Kazakhstan in the UAE, Astana Hub, IT Park Uzbekistan, as well as representatives of local and regional venture funds, which once again highlighted the growing interest of investors in technological projects from Central Asia.
