The ACH26 Startup Competition is a stage for highlighting innovation, entrepreneurship, and impact within the community. The competition brings together founders, investors, and industry leaders for a dynamic exchange of ideas and insight as early-stage ventures focus on the Arab world.  

Selected ventures will pitch to a distinguished panel of judges with experience in startups, venture capital, and industry leadership. Each presentation will be followed by a structured Q&A, offering founders the opportunity to engage directly with judges on their vision, execution, scalability, and real-world impact.

In recognition of excellence in innovation, impact, and execution, winning teams will receive prizes in the form of cash, marketing support, and networking opportunities. The Startup Competition aims to empower the next generation of founders to build forward-looking solutions while grounding their work in ACH26’s theme, “Honoring Our Past, Shaping Our Future”.

Cash prizes will be awarded to our winners!
