Agreement to Boost UAE Gaming Startups

June 5, 2025

Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development (KFED) has entered into a strategic agreement
with the Inovartic Investment to enhance bilateral cooperation and support startups in the
gaming sector in the UAE.

At the centre of this agreement is a comprehensive framework designed to support early-
stage gaming enterprises by offering incubation services, specialised training programs, and
financial support. These initiatives will help developers design, build, and successfully bring
to market original gaming content. Additionally, the agreement will deliver capacity-building
programs to enhance expertise in areas such as game design and storytelling, in line with
international best practices. A significant emphasis will also be placed on developing
culturally inspired intellectual property that highlights Emirati heritage through authentic
narratives, further supplementing the gaming sector with local content.

To further accelerate innovation, the collaboration will focus on streamlining the
commercialisation of gaming prototypes, enhancing investor pitch strategies, and improving
pathways for successful launch of products in the market. Additionally, the agreement will
pave the way for joint events and exhibitions that will showcase local talent and
groundbreaking projects, increasing their visibility and impact on a larger scale.
Mouza Al Nasri, Acting CEO of Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development, said: “This
partnership represents a significant milestone in our commitment to supporting and
empowering Emirati entrepreneurs within the gaming industry. By cultivating an
environment that advocates creativity and innovation, we seek to unlock the capabilities of
local talent in this dynamic field. Our collaboration with Inovartic Investment reflects our
steadfast dedication to strengthening the knowledge economy and promoting sustainable
development across diverse sectors, in alignment with the UAE’s long-term national vision.”
