4/12/24, 4:17 PM Investopia 2024 launches Next50 initiative to create investment opportunities for UAE's most innovative companies
This initiative opens up broader horizons for entry into new international markets, while enabling participation in external economic
committee meetings, and empowering these companies to kick-start fresh economic ventures within emerging sectors of the country.

"Through the Next50 initiative, EMIR will help accelerate the growth of the UAE economy by supporting the Ministry and
Investopia's goals of identifying and championing the country's fastest-growing, most innovative companies."

On this note, Noah Raford, Managing Partner for Advisory at EMIR, stated, "The UAE continues to be the destination of choice for
the region's most exciting and productive companies. Increasingly, it is also the birthplace of those companies. The Next50 highlights
the incredible innovation of this new generation of companies - companies born in the UAE, grown in the UAE, and powered by the

UAE, ready to take their next step onto the world stage."

EMIR is a specialised centre for research in emerging markets. It offers consulting and research services backed by detailed analysis

and strategic recommendations to help governments and companies develop optimal economic and investment policies.

It facilitates this through its network of top executives and experienced government officials.

Investopia comprises three key pillars: 'Dialogues', 'Communities', and 'Marketplace'. These pillars foster dialogue and
communication within business communities in the UAE and worldwide.

They aim to promote the development of shared investment opportunities and guide investment efforts towards sustainable economic
sectors, thus boosting economic growth in various countries.

In its third edition, Investopia 2024 held in Abu Dhabi at the end of last February, brought together a diverse group of investors,
government officials, experts, and business leaders.

The event was an excellent platform for forging partnerships, exploring investment opportunities, and fostering collaboration within
emerging economic sectors.

With over 1,800 attendees, the summit featured more than 105 speakers who delved into various topics, including the latest trends in
risk capital management and discussions on the green economy, digital economy, tourism, creative industries, sports, technology, AI,

and the next generation of investments. (ANI/WAM)
