Dubai, one of the most innovative cities on the planet, and home to major investors and global startups, will be the host city for the 2026 Tomilli Summit, where some of the planet’s most innovative people, businesses and organizations will present their ideas that, in one way or another, positively impact society, whether for its creativity, versatility, or innovation.
The gathering will also include forums and conferences. In this search for the best, the festival proposes a competition where the type of brand, size of the organization, its turnover or budget does not matter. Any company, organization, governmental or academic entity, NGO, association or SME, may be nominated, regardless of nationality, size or type. For the jury, what is truly important is whether an idea is innovative or not, based on its originality and its ability to generate a real impact on society.
