Think your startup is the next big thing?
Here’s your launchpad.
This is where founders step up, stand out and serve up what’s next.
Join us at the Retail Startup Summit — powered by IMAGES RetailME in collaboration with Homegrown CPG, as part of the IMAGES RetailME Middle East Retail Forum 2025, happening on September 3 at JW Marriott Hotel Marina, Dubai.
This isn’t just another startup showcase.
It’s a space built for founders like you. Where real conversations happen, product trails and pitches lead to possibilities.
What’s in it for you?
Pitch, Not Perform
Get 5 minutes to talk about what you’re building — no jargon, no fluff. Just your story, your product and your purpose.
→ The top 3 get featured on RetailME TV+
Show Up, Stand Out
Take your place at the Startup Pavilion — a dedicated zone for sampling, demo and connecting with people who actually get it.
Get The Word Out
If you win, you don’t just walk away with applause. You get featured across IMAGES RetailME’s magazine, website and socials.
Meet People Who Can Help You Grow
From big-name retailers and retail heads to investors and policy voices — the room is full of folks who can open the next door for you.
