“You need to put yourself out there and talk to investors. My meetings [with investors] were very well managed. It was a very informal setting, and they were able to ask questions. I was given 5 minutes to present my company, and then very structured questions from investors were facilitated. I’ve got 15-20 people very focused on one thing [my project]. They were able to get my answer to them, it built a really complete picture in a very short period of time. And then I could specifically ask them for a suggestion on how I can be a success! That’s very important, because investors started thinking how can they help me, what can they do? Getting the investment is brilliant, but actually investors can make business happen not just through allocating capital, but also by enabling connections and advice. People invest in people, people don’t invest in slide decks!”

      “Thank you very much! It is really amazing, I mean the country needs such an investment forum, so people can be introduce to each other, increase the portfolio of investment, rather in Dubai and overseas and so on. It is amazing, congratulation for you. It’s really interesting. It is very excellent, I mean, getting people, investors together in discussing a lot of potential opportunities.

      "I think the format is wonderful. And it is such a great job you and your team organizing everything. I have met a lot of people here, that I think, I wouldn’t have met anywhere else. Business owners, others CEO’s, I mean, people really from diverse areas of life, who spend most of their time in West, in Europe, in America. It’s really wonderful to meet middle easterners, feel the warmth of the culture, it’s really great meeting people who really understand commodities, background here they seem to really care to understand what we do in energy, space, in metal, in crypto currency even… The face-to-face contact becomes even more important. Actually at the Forum here we’ve met two guys, who I’ve talked recently via phone, there actually was a lot of business sense for us working together, but we’ve never really been connected. At the Forum you meet each other, you break bread, you drink tea, and we like, we really should being working together. We are meeting formally on Thursday to discuss that, so thanks for being the catalyst there."
