Out of hundreds of projects we have been able to pinpoint the startups with the highest potential and are now supporting them on their path to success.

Once again the Global Blockchain Congress organised by the Agora Group was phenomenal. The event organisation was extremely professional and the lineup of speakers, investors and projects was top class. This was our second event we attended with Agora, and we are already preparing for the next event! We took all the feedback from last year and managed to come first place this time round. They have helped Legion Network go to the next level. Our team loved the experience once again and all I can say is, make sure you attend the next event. The value provided is unmissable.
Athar Ahmed
Legion Network - CEO
Agora’s event is one of the most valuable events that we ever attended from perspective of meetings with potential partners, investors and blockchain professionals. The Agora’s team is doing absolutely amazing job by connecting the right projects with the right investors. Well done and keep up the great work!

I always admire the events organized by the Agora Group and the 8th edition of the Global Blockchain Congress was one such initiative. Being a partner at NewTribe Capital, we always struggle finding new investment opportunities in the top growing startups that could deliver us long term benefits but the 1 on 1 format implemented by this event was unique and very efficient indeed. I’d recommend this as a must attend event.

AOCP attended the 3rd edition of the Global Blockchain Congress to raise funds and met over 20 investors here in Dubai, including the Sheikh Sultan of Sharjah and we are very happy to announce that we just got our first investment deal for $1 million. Many thanks to Hadi and the team. You are a superman with the most amazing network of investors. Amazing event, best I’ve ever attended.
Anderson Tan
Alpha Omega Capital - Co-Founder
Pitches are good and all, but have you ever sat on a table for 8 hours with 30 minutes one-on-one meetings with 50 rotating investors? Agora is next level. I went to this conference last year, and it was like speed dating with investors. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD BE. If you’re in #Dubai or can get there, and are looking to raise funds for your project, this is your jam.
