Vision
Building the region’s most trusted tech circle
Stéphane Boukris founded The Tech Council to create a private forum for founders, CEOs, investors, and senior operators who value substance over noise. The ambition is simple: convene the people shaping technology in the Middle East and give them a setting worthy of the conversations they need to have.
His background spans entrepreneurship, investment, ecosystem building, and cultural production. From supporting innovation communities in the UAE to investing in more than 50 companies, he brings a rare combination of commercial instinct, network depth, and long-term regional perspective.
“The strongest leadership conversations happen behind closed doors, among people who have earned the right to be in the room.”
The Tech Council
That philosophy defines The Tech Council: selective membership, carefully curated programming, and an editorial standard that respects the time, intelligence, and discretion of every member.
A founder with regional reach
Beyond The Tech Council, Stéphane Boukris is recognized for building bridges across technology, media, and executive communities. His work reflects a premium, cross-border perspective shaped by operators, investors, and decision-makers across GCC and MENA.
