He said, "We firmly believe that the private sector plays a pivotal role in driving the
growth of the national economy. Our mission at Investopia is to support these

leading companies and equip them with the necessary resources for success. We

aim to develop a knowledge-based and innovative economy by fostering
collaboration among various economic forces. We seek to empower the local

business community to compete and excel in global markets by introducing the
Next50 initiative. We are confident that this initiative will serve as a strong catalyst

for these companies and significantly contribute to enhancing the overall business
environment in our country, in line with our local objectives and global

aspirations."The Next50 will offer more significant opportunities for engagement and

collaboration with government entities and easier access to capital by interacting
and aligning with crucial investment funds, banks, and family companies to facilitate

potential investment transactions.

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
