About DFDF

We invest in funds in early to growth stages, across the key sectors in technology that align with Dubai’s Economic Agenda D33. Those technology sectors include PropTech, HealthTech, LogisticsTech, DeepTech, Circular Economy and Web3. 

We aim to accomplish this by boosting venture capital availability through our Fund of Fund investments into local, regional, and international funds, as well as co-investing in their portfolio of startups.

Our founding shareholders are Dubai International Financial Centre and Dubai Future Foundation. We are headquartered in the United Arab Emirates, with offices in the DIFC.

Fund Structure

Our fund size is AED 1 billion, and our fund structure is evergreen. An evergreen fund structure means we are not beholden to the 10-year lifespan of a typical VC fund, which allows us to focus on investing into opportunities with various return horizons and take a longer-term view on returns. The open-ended nature of the fund aligns with our government-backed roots and desire to support truly innovative technologies of the future.

Fund Investment Strategy

We invest in funds at all stages, across the key sectors that align with Dubai’s D33 Economic Agenda, which includes incumbent regional Venture Capital funds, emerging fund managers, and international funds.

Our mandate is to boost the venture capital ecosystem activity in Dubai and the wider region, by leveraging Dubai and its strategically-connected position.

We achieve this through investments in funds and co-investments in sectors aligned with Dubai’s D33 Economic Agenda, supporting regional and international venture capital fund managers to drive growth and innovation.

The Dubai Opportunity

Dubai’s pro-business policies, including zero personal income tax, 100% foreign ownership, and economic stimulus packages, create a thriving startup hub. Its world-class infrastructure, strategic location, and talent accessibility make it ideal for innovation and growth.

For investors, Dubai offers access to high-growth markets with economic stability and sector diversification. Transparent regulations, a focus on innovation, and future-ready industries make it a prime destination for capital deployment and long-term returns.
