The Final Pitch Dubai made its debut with a premiere event that brought together entrepreneurs, investors and cultural figures, highlighting the intersection of innovation and entertainment in the city.

Hosted by Meydan Free Zone, the launch at Volante Club in Business Bay showcased Dubai’s entrepreneurial momentum, drawing founders, investors and creators to a screening and networking event set against the city’s skyline.

The premiere precedes the show’s 10-episode season on OSN and OSN+, which airs from November 17 to December 15, with two episodes released each week.

The Final Pitch Dubai follows 16 founders as they present their ventures to a panel of investors led by Sami Khoreibi and Jigar Sagar.

The series combines the traditional pitch format with hands-on mentorship, providing entrepreneurs with access to industry experts and opportunities to engage directly with investors’ businesses and networks.

Hamed Ahli, Head of Meydan Free Zone, stated that the program reflects Dubai’s dynamic entrepreneurial environment, where both new and established businesses benefit from a supportive ecosystem. He noted that the show captures the creativity and ambition that characterize the city’s start-up community.

The Final Pitch is produced by Dragon’s Nest LLC-FZ and created by media entrepreneur John Aguilar, who previously produced 11 seasons of the show for CNN in Asia. Aguilar said Dubai offers an ideal setting, with filming locations such as Expo City, DIFC, Dubai Marina and Meydan Grandstand highlighting the city’s dynamic business landscape.
