The symposium will also feature a demonstration by angel investor and CEO of Classpass Fritz Lanman, who will offer a peek at best practices for investing in the technology space.
Not just that, the event also promises to provide a platform for UAE's tech startups actively seeking angel investment to pitch their ventures to investors and audience attending the event, who in turn can engage with them. By doing so, the symposium says, it intends to connect aspiring BIZ Experiencess and investors and "elevate a new class of angel investors" that better understand the startup investing landscape to fuel innovation in the UAE.
