A festival for start-ups.
Step is a festival for start-ups and the people who fund them, in its fourteenth edition at Dubai Internet City. In 2026 the theme was the AI economy. Founders, investors, scale-ups, corporates and government teams.
SiGMA closed at Festival City on Wednesday the 11th. The same day, one of us was at Step, across Dubai. We had confirmed it five days before.
