From Blueprint to Scale in a Transforming Region


A core programme from the Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN), The Founders Peak is a platform for honest, unfiltered conversations about what it truly takes to build and scale a company in a fast-moving, high-potential region.

The programme brings together builders, innovators, and the investors who back them to explore the real challenges and opportunities that shape entrepreneurial success.

Now, the focus turns to the Middle Corridor, a region where ambition is converging with new sources of capital, emerging market infrastructure, and global connectivity. This is where the next generation of globally significant companies will be built.
