Türkiye at the Forefront: Generating Change, at Horasis Global Meeting this October 22-23. Türkiye’s Twelfth Development Plan to 2028 reaches to its vision for 2053: strongly poised to develop its economic, social and environmental goals. It looks to be a pivot on the Euro/Asian stage while developing its cultural heritage. How best to avoid unforeseen consequences while rapidly changing, and developing research and innovation sectors? How to attract and create the best enablers of innovation and global research?

How did our Kazakhstani startup SET24 make it to the IT forum in Saudi Arabia? It all began swiftly: in February, we became residents of Astana Hub and almost immediately got the opportunity to represent our country at the international exhibition LEAP 2024. The exhibition is very extensive; we presented our project at the stand in the Kazakhstani pavilion to the Minister of Digital Development, Bagdat Musin, and ministers from Saudi Arabia. We interacted with Kazakhstani startups and representatives of our business. We plan to establish connections in Kazakhstan, collaborate, and develop together. Informally, we also engaged with representatives from other countries. Invitations were extended to do business in Turkey, Malaysia, and others. We received a couple of proposals for various forms of cooperation, including opening a company in Saudi Arabia. The niche in which we operate here also exists there, but at a different level; we are slightly ahead. On a positive note, the country is safe, and the level of theft will be even lower. This is a significant advantage for our micro-markets. The availability of food is also not quite at our level, so our solution may be in demand there. Currently, we are deciding as a team whether to start cooperation, look for distributors, or enter this region at all. In conclusion, the key takeaway is that one must definitely utilize any opportunities and participate in international exhibitions, broaden one's horizons, as our SET24 project was always intended for export. The exhibition became the first step towards exploring and understanding how our business model can develop abroad.

In my opinion, reaching out to an investor who's already involved with a competitor is a strategy that's both intriguing and complex. On one hand, their experience and interest in your sector could offer invaluable insights and support for your startup. It's a clear indication that they understand the market and see potential in it, which could work in your favor. On the other hand, their commitment to a competitor might cloud their judgment or limit their willingness to invest in direct competition. This delicate balance between potential benefits and drawbacks makes it a decision that shouldn't be taken lightly. What do other startups think about the pros and cons of approaching a competitor's investor? How do you see this strategy from your position, and what considerations might sway your decision?

Sneaking into UAE’s most recognizable brand innovation day - I loved it! Thank you, Ismail, for the invitation, amazing event! Not only because of the startups presented but also because, by accident, I had an amazing investor experience. What happened? How many times has a founder (even with a project ideally suited for you) just started throwing their pitch at you like a machine gun? I had such a humanistic experience yesterday, just because a founder saw investors like me as humans, not just walking wallets. He just asked one magic question: “What’s your background?” BEFORE PITCHING You might say, "Wow, what’s special about that?" I’ll tell you. Because he collected useful information for his fundraising purpose and, at the same time, didn’t flood me with irrelevant information that would make any investor a bit irritated. Then, he really adjusted his message so it's relevant to my background. In times when I have many pitch decks sent to me via LinkedIn with generic intro messages, that was really amazing Akram! Btw, the region is not yet famous for deep tech solutions, but I see it’s coming. Just by seeing solutions like Akram's AR Engineering or my ever favourite intella. For me personally, that’s just confirmation that placing myself here in the Middle East was the right choice.  💯 P.S. Thank you, Emirates, for spoiling the inner child in me with the toy plane model. Because we all love toys, right? 😅

🚀 Are you ready to take your tech company to new heights? 🌍✈️ Did you know that the UAE has become a hot destination for tech companies looking to relocate? 📈 With its strategic location, thriving business ecosystem, and attractive incentives, the UAE offers a wealth of opportunities for tech entrepreneurs. But what does it take to relocate your tech company to the UAE successfully? 🤔 In this post, we'll dive into real-life case studies of successful tech company relocations to the UAE and uncover the valuable lessons learned along the way. 💡 One such case study is the relocation of XYZ Tech, a leading software development company, to Dubai. Facing fierce competition and limited growth prospects in their home country, XYZ Tech made the bold decision to expand their horizons and set up operations in the UAE. 🌐 The first lesson they learned was the importance of thorough market research. By understanding the local tech landscape, XYZ Tech was able to identify untapped opportunities and tailor their products and services to meet the specific needs of the UAE market. 📊 Another key takeaway from their experience was the significance of building strong partnerships. XYZ Tech forged strategic alliances with local tech companies, government agencies, and industry associations, which not only provided them with valuable insights but also opened doors to new business opportunities. 🤝 Additionally, XYZ Tech realized the importance of embracing cultural diversity and inclusivity. By hiring a diverse workforce, they were able to tap into a wide range of perspectives and ideas, fostering innovation and driving their company's growth. 🌍👥 But perhaps the most crucial lesson learned by XYZ Tech was the need for adaptability. The UAE's business landscape is dynamic and constantly evolving, and companies must be agile enough to navigate the changing tides. XYZ Tech embraced a culture of continuous learning and innovation, allowing them to stay ahead of the curve and seize emerging opportunities. 📚💡 So, if you're considering relocating your tech company to the UAE, remember these key lessons: conduct thorough market research, build strong partnerships, embrace diversity, and stay adaptable. 📝 Have you ever considered relocating your tech company?
