The Ministry of Economy has revealed a new partnership with Continuous Ventures, a venture
capital firm from Ireland. This collaboration is part of the NextGen FDI initiative aimed at attracting
global companies to the UAE. Continuous Ventures will contribute by evaluating potential
programme participants, offering market strategies, and connecting their startups with the
initiative.

Dr. Thani Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, highlighted the UAE's dedication to
becoming a leader in innovation and entrepreneurship through this partnership. "This collaboration
with Continuous Ventures will play an important role in our efforts to make the UAE the destination
of choice for pioneering enterprises at every stage of their growth journey," he stated.

Continuous Ventures plans to support high-potential startups in Dubai and Abu Dhabi initially. As
the programme grows, they aim to expand into a larger facility in DIFC. The firm focuses on ESG
investing and offers guidance in areas like market research and product development through a
"teach-a-founder" approach.
