The iconic event Platform 09 returns for its 12th edition in 2025, under the esteemed patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Shamseh bint Hamad bin Mohammad Al Sharqi, daughter of His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammad Al Sharqi, Ruler of Fujairah.
This year, the theme Brilliance leads the way celebrating purpose-driven entrepreneurship, bold creativity, and the power of ideas that inspire, challenge, and lead. Platform 09 continues to position itself as the region’s most anticipated destination for cultural and entrepreneurial excellence.
“Platform 09 is more than a creative destination it is a declaration of what our community is capable of when vision meets intention,” said Her Highness Sheikha Shamseh bint Hamad bin Mohammad Al Sharqi.
“This year’s theme, Brilliance, is an invitation to every entrepreneur to look inward, unlock their true potential, and pursue it with clarity and confidence. We are proud to continue supporting a platform that reflects the future of Fujairah and the limitless spirit of its people.”
Platform 09 welcomes participants from across the Arab world, bringing together designers, creators, and entrepreneurs from the region in a powerful showcase of cultural innovation. Many of these designers will be unveiling exclusive Ramadan and Eid collections, created specifically for Platform 09 and available only during the five-day event.
A 5-Day Experience of Creativity, Challenge, and Expression
This edition features nine interactive and thought-provoking activations, each designed to push entrepreneurs to reflect, participate, and engage with their own vision in bold new ways.
Visitors can also explore a dedicated food truck district, showcasing standout culinary experiences, and enjoy daily entertainment shows that bring life to the event grounds from live music and performance art to cultural showcases and surprise appearances.
More than a marketplace or a moment, Platform 09 is a movement and Brilliance is the spark that lights the way forward.
