Seed Group, a company of The Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum, is set to host an exclusive online roundtable on April 29, 2025, bringing together global investors, C-suite executives, and strategic partners to explore the evolving landscape of UAE family offices, startup acceleration, and sustainable growth models.
The high-level roundtable aims to foster collaboration and dialogue among industry leaders as the UAE continues to strengthen its position as a regional hub for innovation, entrepreneurship, and family wealth management. This closed-door session is invitation-only, underscoring the event’s exclusivity and its focus on actionable, strategic insights.
A Strategic Focus on Family Offices and Innovation
The UAE’s growing influence in the world of family offices—privately held companies that manage wealth and investments for high-net-worth families—has captured global attention. As regulatory frameworks evolve and global capital increasingly flows into the region, family offices are emerging as powerful players in supporting startups, scaling ventures, and reshaping legacy wealth.
The roundtable will explore how these family offices can become more agile and proactive in investing in the next generation of startups, while also addressing topics such as succession planning, technology adoption, and risk management.
“Family offices in the UAE are playing a crucial role in the ecosystem of innovation,” said a Seed Group spokesperson. “By engaging them directly with global investors and successful founders, we aim to catalyze more structured growth pathways for early-stage and scaling ventures.”
Startup Acceleration in a Competitive Landscape
In addition to family office strategies, the event will deep-dive into startup acceleration models that align with the UAE’s long-term vision for economic diversification and innovation. With the region witnessing a surge in startup funding—particularly in fintech, healthtech, and e-commerce—leaders will examine how accelerators, incubators, and strategic partnerships can be redefined for a post-pandemic digital economy.
Startups seeking sustainable scaling strategies will benefit from insights into investor expectations, market entry models, and tech-driven business frameworks. Speakers will include successful entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and advisors who’ve led high-growth companies across the MENA region and beyond.
Global Participation with a Local Focus
The roundtable will feature participation from executives across the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and North America, reflecting the UAE’s global connectivity and appeal as a destination for capital, talent, and innovation. Despite being a virtual event, the format is designed to encourage real-time discussion, personalized networking, and follow-up partnerships.
This initiative is part of Seed Group’s broader mission to build bridges between the UAE and the world’s most innovative companies and investors. Over the years, the company has partnered with dozens of international firms to help them establish and scale operations in the GCC.
As the countdown begins for the April 29 session, the roundtable is expected to set the stage for deeper collaboration between family offices and startups—two pillars of the UAE’s future economy.
