What is GLOBALS Connect?

GLOBALS Connect is more than just a networking event—it’s Club GLOBALS’ flagship series for accelerating meaningful business relationships within the international tech scene.

Each edition is intentionally curated to attract and match:

• Startup founders ready to scale across borders

• Corporate innovators scouting cutting-edge solutions

• Investors actively looking for deal flow

• Media and ecosystem partners seeking new stories and strategic alignment

The goal? Create an environment where opportunity meets timing. And where introductions turn into investments, partnerships, or pilots.

Whether you join in person or online, you’re entering a space built to spark intentional matchmaking, not random mingling.

Keynote Spotlight: Jutta Jakobi of GITEX Europe

A highlight of the event was the keynote by Jutta Jakobi, Managing Director of GITEX Europe, who gave a powerful talk on what it takes to build a globally relevant tech event—from scratch—in the heart of Europe.

From Dubai to Berlin

Jakobi shared how GITEX, a leading global tech expo with 44 years of legacy in Dubai, is now expanding into Berlin—marking its European debut in 2025.

“We’re not just bringing GITEX to Europe—we’re building an ecosystem tailored for European innovation leaders and decision-makers.”

She emphasized the unique positioning of GITEX Europe as a B2B-only platform designed for:

• Solution providers

• Public and private sector buyers

• Policymakers and ecosystem architects

Key Announcements:

IBM and Amazon Web Services among the top exhibitors

• Strategic partnerships with the European Innovation Council and Berlin officials

• Appearance by Geoffrey Hinton, the “Godfather of AI”

• Fully dedicated startup zones and national pavilions (including Startup Germany with 8 federal states participating)

Startup Spotlights

A core feature of every GLOBALS Connect event is its founder showcase. In III, a select group of startups took the stage to pitch their ideas—each one pushing the boundaries of tech innovation:

• GreenStack: ESG compliance automation for mid-market firms

• NeuroNode: AI-powered diagnostics for early-stage mental health detection

• CartOptic: Data-driven tools for e-commerce revenue optimization

Unlike many pitch events, GLOBALS Connect pairs each presenter with follow-up matchmaking opportunities, creating a direct bridge between exposure and traction.

Matchmaking in Action

At GLOBALS Connect III, business matchmaking wasn’t left to chance.

Instead, Club GLOBALS offered:

• Curated intros based on company profiles and shared objectives

• Live scheduling of 1:1 meetings with investors, partners, and decision-makers

• Media and visibility support to amplify stories that matter

This system ensures conversations lead somewhere—whether it’s a new investor, a pilot program, or a channel partnership.

Audience Snapshot

Attendees came from diverse backgrounds and roles, but all shared one thing in common: they came to move business forward.

• International startup founders and C-level execs

• Corporate innovation leaders and tech scouts

• VCs, angel investors, and accelerators

• Journalists, ecosystem builders, and growth enablers

Every edition of GLOBALS Connect is carefully curated to ensure relevance and synergy—no filler, no fluff.
