Testimonial from the founder of Dojo, one of the start-ups that was selected to participate in the LIFE pitch night in Dubai:
“Dojo recently had the pleasure of participating in LIFE’s pitch night and it was truly an outstanding experience. The level of organization and attention to detail was evident from the start. The speakers and their ideas presented were innovative and thought-provoking. The Q&A session following the pitches was engaging and provided valuable insights into our company and the participating entrepreneurs. I would like to express our gratitude to the organizers for putting together such a fantastic networking opportunity, it was truly a valuable experience.
