AX at IDEX 🇦🇪
Aerospace Xelerated cohort 4 startups & team travelled to the UAE for our cohort offsite, where they exhibited at IDEX and attended a Regional Startup Meetup! At the International Defence Exhibition and Conference, the startups networked and engaged with key ecosystem stakeholders and enablers in the UAE, and around the world. This was also a great opportunity to meet with our programme partners and learn about the innovation and startup ecosystem in the UAE.
Next-Gen Pitch Competition
AR Engineering, NABLA Mobility, and Basetwo participated in the IDEX Next-Gen Pitch Competition, where they pitched their solution to the audience at IDEX, which included our programme partners, investors, corporates, founders, and judges. On behalf of the AX team, we want to extend our sincere congratulations to Akram Amir, CEO & Founder of AR Engineering, for winning first place at IDEX Next-Gen Pitch Competition!
Tawazun Council - AX Reception
At Abu Dhabi, we also held the Tawazun Council - AX Reception at the exquisite Erth Abu Dhabi Hotel, serving as a perfect location for our evening reception where our startups held productive conversations with programme partners and corporates. A special thank you to our partners, portfolio companies, and the wider team for making this event a great success.
The Europas
We are thrilled to announce our upcoming event, Deep Dive into Deep-tech: The State of Early Stage Deep-tech Investing, featuring AX Programme Director Jacqueline Davidson.
Taking place on 9 March 2023 in Paris, this panel discussion will bring together some of Europe's top deep-tech VCs, who will share their insights and experiences on the current state of deep tech investing.
Techcrunch editor-at-large, Mike Butcher MBE, will lead the discussion as the panel explores how VCs are navigating volatile markets, which deep tech sectors are showing the most promise, where VCs are scaling back, and how startups should adapt their growth and fundraising strategies to cope with market unpredictability.
