At the Museum of the Future, Dubai is poised to hold the first-ever MENA IPO Summit. The Dubai Financial Market (DFM) and the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) will jointly organize the three-day conference, whose maiden edition will highlight the sector’s robust momentum and bright future.
The vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has resulted in the transformation of Dubai’s financial markets and its emergence as a key financial hub, according to His Highness Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Finance of the UAE, who spoke on Sunday.
“Last year, Dubai accounted for 40% of IPO activity in the Gulf region, representing a value of AED 673B. Driven by the ambitious goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), Dubai will continue to accelerate its economic growth momentum and consolidate its position as a major international financial centre,” said His Highness Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
In-depth knowledge of the IPO process, prospects, and difficulties of becoming a public business, as well as strategies for advancing ESG agendas, will be shared by industry experts at the conference. It will also present a roadmap for startups and SMEs in Dubai, as well as knowledge about the city’s business culture, legal environment, and financing opportunities for scaling companies up to an IPO.
The MENA IPO Summit will serve as a forum for discussions that will shape the industry, giving institutional investors, family businesses, and startups the chance to learn about recent regional IPO success stories while also examining the most recent regulations, best practises, and market trends in the Dubai capital market. Participants will get the chance to interact with important IPO issuers and thought leaders from the investment.
