Emirates Angels

To boost the UAE economy’s competitiveness, a group of young investors has launched the “Emirates Angels Investors Association” to help accelerate the growth of start-ups and facilitate investors' investment and entrepreneurship in the country.

The Emirates Angels Investors Association has brought together some of the country’s leading young local investors to connect innovators and thought leaders with investors and bridge existing gaps. The Board members were elected in the presence of the Ministry of Community Development, where Masaood Rahma Al Masaood was chosen as Chairman, Sameh Al Qubaisi as Vice Chairman, and Ali Sajwani, Mohammed Al Nowais, Yousif Al Mulla, Mohammed Al Owais, and Tarek Al Nuaimi as Board members. The association seeks to create a common platform for both to share their experiences and best practices, as well as to develop an integrated network that can attract new investors and support start-ups, develop business, and encourage investments in UAE.

Masaood Rahma Al Masaood, Chairman, Emirates Angels Investors Association, said:

The Association envisions to transform innovative and creative ideas into feasible investments in vital sectors and empower innovators and thought leaders by providing them with an interactive platform, training and investment opportunities that contribute to boosting entrepreneurship and start-ups. We are keen to build a wide network of investment advisors that are committed to work together in enhancing the UAE business environment to become one that encourages creativity and innovation and invest in science and technology, as well as research and development. We are confident that, in partnership with government and private sectors, we will extend the needed support to start-ups, SMEs, and entrepreneurs.

The Emirates Angels Investors Association is a nonprofit founded in 2020, officially registered Under the Ministry of Social development in the UAE. With the UAE leading the startup scene in the MENA region with regards to the number of companies funded and the capital invested in startups, Emirates Angels’s aim is to positively contribute to the early stage investment ecosystem through their investors network.
