Building the bridges that scale ecosystems.
At LEAP 2026, Ecosystem Xchange is where regional and global ecosystem builders turn shared ambition into practical pathways for founders.
Through partner-led workshops, programme showcases, startup pitches and ecosystem spotlights, the programme unlocks market access, soft-landing support, investment readiness and cross-border collaboration.
