Built in Chaos: Building and Scaling When the Rules Keep Changing
Sunday October 4, 2026 4:00pm - 4:45pm EEST
In the MENA region, chaos is not the exception, it is the operating environment.

Founders are building companies amid shifting markets, disrupted supply chains, and constant uncertainty. Yet many are not just surviving, they are adapting faster, making sharper decisions, and finding unexpected opportunities inside disruption.

“Built in Chaos” brings together founders and operators to share real, unfiltered experiences of building and scaling in unstable conditions. The conversation goes beyond theory to focus on what actually works on the ground: how decisions are made under pressure, how teams stay focused, and how disruption can become a driver of growth.

At its core, this panel explores one question: how do you build something lasting when nothing around you is stable?

Build Alone, Fail Fast — Build Together, Scale Fast
Sunday October 4, 2026 5:30pm - 5:45pm EEST
Startups often begin with one founder, one idea, and fast experimentation through failure. But scaling a startup is not a solo game.

This panel looks at how communities of like-minded founders, builders, and operators shape startup growth. Being surrounded by people on the same journey helps founders move faster, avoid mistakes, and find real opportunities.

We’ll cover how communities help founders:

Validate ideas quickly and improve execution
Connect with like-minded founders facing similar challenges
Access mentors, investors, and talent
Stay consistent through early-stage uncertainty
Unlock networks that drive real scaling

In today’s ecosystem, startups don’t scale in isolation—they scale through people.
