Dubai Culture has opened registration for the third Al Quoz Creative Entrepreneurship Forum, happening 26–27 October 2025 at Al Khayat Avenue, Al Quoz. Under the theme “Passion, Profit, Possibilities,” the forum celebrates the business side of creativity—bringing together entrepreneurs, cultural leaders, artists, designers, chefs, and investors to map the future of the creative economy in the UAE.

Expect keynotes, sharp panel talks, hands-on workshops, and live performances exploring everything from culture-as-capital to mentorship, placemaking, and investment. It’s designed to give both emerging and established founders real tools, fresh ideas, and the right connections.
This year also spotlights the Al Quoz Creative Entrepreneurship Competition: from 120+ submissions, seven finalists will pitch to a jury for AED 160,000 in prizes (AED 80,000 / 50,000 / 30,000) plus valuable in-kind support to push their projects forward.
Good to know: Registration is free and open to all creatives, startups, investors, and aspiring professionals across the cultural and creative industries.
Participants can register now via Dubai Culture’s official channels here.
