GITEX Impact

About

North Star Green Impact is a premier sustainability-zone launching in 2025 within Expand North Star 2025 (held 12-15 October at Dubai Harbour), uniting climate-tech startups, impact investors, corporates, and government stakeholders under one roof.

Organised by Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy in partnership with Dubai World Trade Centre, this dedicated zone spotlights breakthrough solutions in clean energy, circular economy, water innovation, sustainable mobility, and decarbonisation. It offers founders a strategic gateway to scale impactful technologies globally.

Each year, the Green Impact zone (debuting in 2025) invites early-stage through Series A startups from around the world — making it a dynamic hub for the climate-innovation ecosystem. Participants engage with top-tier impact investors, secure corporate and governmental partnerships, and gain significant exposure on a global platform.

The event features multiple integrated sections and capabilities, including:

• Exhibition & Activate Zone – Showcases climate-tech startups, their solutions and live demos.

• Sustainability Leaders Pitch Competition – A core contest offering a US $10,000 cash prize before a live audience of VCs, corporates and media. 

• Investor & Government Matchmaking – Structured networking connecting founders with impact investors, buyers (corporates/government) and accelerator programmes. 

• Knowledge & Insights Stage – Expert-led talks on topics such as carbon management, green finance, circular economy strategies and sustainable mobility systems.

• Partner & Deployment Zone – A space for corporates and governments to discover, pilot and scale solutions from startup innovation.

Whether you’re a founder developing climate-tech, an investor seeking high-impact deals, or a corporate/government entity looking to source sustainable solutions, North Star Green Impact provides a unique environment to network, learn, pilot and scale in the Middle East and beyond.

By blending innovation, investment, education and global collaboration, North Star Green Impact strengthens Dubai’s position as a global hub for climate-technology and sustainability-driven entrepreneurship.
