Investors in the UAE

Venture investment in the United Arab Emirates is centred on Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Each has its own financial free zone, the DIFC in Dubai and ADGM in Abu Dhabi, where many funds are licensed. Government-backed funds and programmes invest alongside private venture firms.

Firms based in the UAE are listed first. After them come firms based elsewhere that name the UAE among the countries they invest in.
