Dubai Silicon Oasis Business Gateway 2026 in Dubai

The Dubai Silicon Oasis Business Gateway 2026 in Dubai is a short, focused morning for founders and business owners who want to understand two very practical doors into one of the city’s big economic zones. On Thursday 29 October 2026, Dubai Silicon Oasis opens its headquarters for a session with Oraseya Capital, the venture capital arm of the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ), and the DIEZ Procurement and Administration team. If you have ever wondered how startup funding works here, or how to become a supplier to the authority, this is a quick way to hear it from the people involved.

About Dubai Silicon Oasis Business Gateway in Dubai

Dubai Silicon Oasis sits under DIEZ, and the Business Gateway is designed to explain two of its programmes in plain terms. The first half of the morning belongs to Oraseya Capital. The team will cover its role within Dubai Silicon Oasis, the areas it focuses on and its startup and accelerator programmes. The second half turns to procurement, with a walk through how companies can register as suppliers through the DIEZ Supplier Portal.

Each presentation is followed by its own Q&A, so this is not a sit-and-listen morning. You get the chance to put your own questions to the teams who run these programmes, then stay on for a networking slot at the end. It is hosted by Dubai Silicon Oasis and registration is by request, with places confirmed by the host.

What to Expect

The agenda is tight and well paced, running from arrival at 10am to the close of networking at midday.

Welcome Remarks

After arrival and registration, the morning opens with welcome remarks from Mr Jamal bin Marghoob, setting the scene for the two sessions that follow.

Oraseya Capital Presentation

Julien Joel Plouzeau, Senior Partner, and Omar Khan, Partner, represent Oraseya Capital. Their session introduces the fund’s place within Dubai Silicon Oasis, its focus areas and the startup and accelerator programmes on offer. A Q&A follows straight after, which is the moment to ask about fit, stage and how to approach the team.

DIEZ Procurement and Administration

Rasheed Mohamed Al Marzooqi, Vice President of DIEZ Procurement and Administration, leads the second session. The focus is the DIEZ Supplier Portal and how companies can register to supply the authority. Another Q&A and closing remarks round off the formal part.

Networking

The final half hour is set aside for networking, a relaxed chance to follow up on anything you heard and meet other attendees.

Key Highlights

• Hear directly from Oraseya Capital, the venture capital arm of DIEZ
• A clear explanation of startup and accelerator programmes at Dubai Silicon Oasis
• Practical guidance on registering through the DIEZ Supplier Portal
• Two dedicated Q&A slots, one after each presentation
• Networking with founders, suppliers and the host team
• A compact two-hour format that fits into a working morning

The Venue: Dubai Silicon Oasis Headquarters

The session takes place at Dubai Silicon Oasis Headquarters in Nadd Hessa, the base of the technology park and economic zone itself. Holding it at headquarters makes sense: this is where the teams behind the programmes work, and it keeps the conversation close to the source. The organisers share a map pin with registered guests, which is handy for finding the right entrance on arrival.

Who It Is For

The event page does not name a specific audience, but the content points clearly to a few groups. Founders looking for venture funding or accelerator support will want to hear the Oraseya Capital session. Companies hoping to win work with DIEZ will get the most from the procurement half. Advisers, consultants and anyone setting up a business in Dubai Silicon Oasis should also find it useful.

Visitor Tips

Register Early

Places are confirmed by the host after you request to join, so send your request in good time and keep an eye on your inbox for the approval.

Arrive on Time

Registration opens at 10am and welcome remarks follow shortly after. Allow for morning traffic heading into Dubai Silicon Oasis so you do not miss the opening.

Come Prepared

If you are interested in supplying DIEZ, have your company profile and trade licence details to hand so you can ask specific questions about the portal. Founders may find a short, clear summary of their business useful for the Oraseya Q&A and the networking slot.

Bring Business Cards

The networking half hour is short, so a quick way to swap details helps you make the most of it.
