Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy (DCDE), one of three chambers operating under the umbrella of Dubai Chambers, recently conducted a promotional roadshow in Canada with Dubai World Trade Centre to highlight the benefits of participating in Expand North Star 2025, the world's largest event for startups and investors.

The chamber will host the upcoming edition of Expand North Star at Dubai Harbour from October 12-15, 2025.

The roadshow seeks to build on the success of the Canadian startups that participated in last year's edition of the event, 67 per cent of which have already established their businesses in Dubai.

These companies are now aiming to leverage the emirate as a launchpad for local and regional expansion and building the necessary partnerships to grow their operations.

As part of the roadshow, the chamber organised a series of events across three Canadian cities, including Toronto, Mississauga, and Vancouver, which brought together more than 350 founders, investors, accelerators, and policymakers.

The discussions showcased Dubai's position as a global hub for the growth and expansion of digital business, as well as the benefits and opportunities available to participants in Expand North Star. The annual event is organised by Dubai World Trade Centre and hosted by Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy.
