Shark Tank Dubai will bring the famous reality TV format to Arabic TV with a new series set to launch this month.
The original Shark Tank premiered in 2009 as the American franchise of the international format “Dragons’ Den”, a Japanese TV series.
It focused on entrepreneurs making business presentations to a panel of five venture capitalists (investors in start-ups) called “sharks”, who decide whether to invest in their companies or not.

Shark Tank Dubai follows in the series’ acclaimed tradition, presenting a business-oriented reality television series where aspiring entrepreneurs pitch their innovative business concepts to a panel of highly successful and influential business titans – “sharks” from the UAE.
