In 2024, IIS made its debut at the iconic Ritz-Carlton, Abu Dhabi. The summit welcomed 500+ global delegates, including leading investors, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders.
Over two days, discussions spanned public markets, real estate, AI, healthcare, and sustainability. Visionary sessions, startup pitch showcases, and transformative keynotes inspired the audience with insights into emerging global trends.
The success of Season 1 proved that there is a strong need for a cross-border investment and innovation platform in the UAE. Building on this momentum, IIS is evolving into a larger, stronger, and more influential global summit — one that connects regions, accelerates capital flow, and shapes the future of industries.
Our Legacy
The foundation of IIS lies in the proven success of 21BY72 – Bharat’s Leading Startup Summit. With thousands of delegates, hundreds of global investors, and some of the most renowned thought leaders on stage, 21BY72 has set the benchmark for impact-driven conferences.
IIS now carries this legacy to the world stage — uniting visionaries, driving partnerships, and shaping the future of international investments.
