Renowned entrepreneur Naguib Sawiris has launched Moniify, a digital platform tailored to empower Gen Z with insights on business and investment opportunities. Based in the UAE, Moniify spotlights emerging markets and future-driven industries like artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and space technology.
Highlighting the UAE’s appeal as a business hub, Sawiris praised Dubai’s ease of operations and vision, citing Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s initiatives, such as Dubai Media City, as pivotal inspirations. “There is freedom to move around, and you are safe,” Sawiris stated during a press conference.
Moniify aims to equip young audiences with the tools to achieve financial independence. Dr. Yaser Bishr, Advisor to the Chairman, emphasized this vision, stating, “Our goal is to help young people become financially independent while navigating complex, evolving markets.” Michael Peters, Moniify’s CEO, pointed out the platform’s unique focus on telling emerging market stories, distinguishing it from traditional Western-centric media narratives.
The platform collaborates with global content creators, delivering engaging and educational videos. Notably, presenter Ornella Hernandez will address space technology, while Sara and Aaron Wee, known as “The Weeblings,” will bridge macroeconomics with everyday financial decisions.
Moniify’s innovative approach aims to inspire the next generation of investors and entrepreneurs, bridging gaps in finance and business media for millennials and Gen Z.
