Dubai, UAE, February 24, 2026 — Over the past decade, Trescon has grown from a Bengaluru-based startup into one of the Middle East’s most trusted partners for government-backed business platforms. As it celebrates its 10-year milestone, the company highlights a defining partnership with Dubai and outlines plans to expand across the MEASA region.
Founded in 2016 by Mohammed Saleem (Founder & Chairman), alongside Mithun Shetty (Vice Chairman) and Swarnavo Roy (Managing Director), Trescon opened its UAE office in 2021, establishing Dubai as its regional headquarters — a strategic move aligned with the city’s ambition to lead globally in finance, AI, sustainability, and future industries.
Driving Flagship Events in Dubai
In addition to its own signature events, Trescon manages four core forums within Dubai Future Finance Week, organized by DIFC:
- Dubai FinTech Summit
- Future Sustainability Forum
- Future Islamic Finance Forum
- Reg3 Forum
The Dubai FinTech Summit alone attracts over 9,000 participants, cementing Dubai’s position as a global fintech hub. Trescon has also supported high-profile government initiatives, including the World Police Summit by Dubai Police and Dubai Future Forum by Dubai Future Foundation, reinforcing its credibility as a trusted delivery partner for institutional stakeholders.
Built for Institutional Scale
Trescon specializes in mid-to-large scale leadership platforms, typically hosting 3,000 to 10,000 senior stakeholders, with a focus on tangible outcomes rather than exhibition optics. Over the past decade, the company has delivered:
- 500+ events across 10+ countries
- 250,000+ attendees
- 1 million+ curated business connections
- 3,500+ engaged investors
The leadership team — including Madhukar Dudda, Ummer Shameem, Sanjiv Singh, Anil Kumar, Edward Maben, Christine Davidson, Vimal Bhat, and Naveen Bharadwaj — manages 250+ professionals across international offices.
“Our philosophy has always been simple: if a government entrusts you with a flagship platform, delivery must be flawless. At this level, the organiser’s credibility and the government’s reputation are inseparable,” says Mohammed Saleem, Founder & Chairman.
Expanding Across the MEASA Corridor
With Dubai as its operational anchor and a recent presence in Riyadh, Trescon is expanding into Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and emerging African markets like Mauritius — regions investing heavily in digital transformation, AI, fintech, sustainability, and future skills development.
The company is also developing large-scale, government-aligned platforms focused on AI, cybersecurity, STEM, and deeptech across key growth markets.
“Grateful to Dubai for providing the proving ground for our government-partnership model. As we enter our second decade, we are scaling that framework across high-growth economies aligned with future technologies, sustainability, and capacity building,” says Naveen Bharadwaj, Group CEO.
A Decade of Impact, a Future of Scale
As Trescon celebrates its 10-year milestone, it positions itself not just as an event organiser, but as an architect of economic platforms, bringing together regulators, investors, enterprises, startups, and innovators under one strategic mandate. With Dubai as its base and the MEASA corridor as its growth frontier, the company is poised for deeper institutional partnerships, new market launches, and alignment with national transformation agendas.
