Hadi Badri, CEO of the Dubai Economic Development Corporation, reviewed the Dubai
Economic Agenda D33, which entails 100 transformational projects with ambitious
economic targets that seek to double the size of Dubai’s economy by 2033 and
consolidate its position among the top three economic cities in the world.

The meeting also discussed a range of mechanisms aimed at leveraging the UAE’s
innovation landscape by supporting scientific research activities, enhancing the
competitiveness of technology startups, efforts to facilitate business processes and
eliminating all unnecessary bureaucracy. Fostering transparency within the business
and investment environment, providing training programs for start-ups, as well as
attracting and retaining talent and developing their skills are also key focus areas.

Through the ‘Next50’ initiative, Investopia, in collaboration with EMIR Research, will
help accelerate the UAE economy’s growth by selecting the fastest-growing companies
to join the initiative and supporting the growth of their operations. It seeks to provide
channels for entrepreneurs to communicate with government and private institutions
and governing bodies, facilitate access to funding through major investment funds,
banks and family offices, and strengthen their presence within local and international
markets.
