Strategic investment focus for future impact
Strategic investment focus for future impact e& capital will play a central role in transforming e& into a global technology and investment group. We will act as a bridge between the telco side of the business and the specialist business pillars to enable growth and offer opportunities for testing out new technologies and staying open to emerging global trends. Our investments will enable us to bring a new way of life to our clients and the whole ecosystem.
Laying the foundation for success
In the first few months of operations, we focused on building the right team and creating robust internal processes and governance to achieve our objectives. We established our strategy and focused vision, aligned with the corporate strategy and vision of e&, and then began developing our investment deal flow. In parallel, we successfully closed our first round of investments from our inaugural USD 250 million VC fund, which were announced during GITEX Global 2022.
Accelerating towards our vision in 2023
In the year ahead, we will build on our early successes and work towards our vision to act as a catalyst in shaping the future of the MENA region’s digital economy by engaging with entrepreneurs that dare to disrupt and challenge the status quo.
We are excited to leverage our resources and capabilities to support disruption and spur progress in key industries, such as fintech, entertainment, worktech, healthtech, and edtech. We will look to engage, invest in, and support innovative start-ups that typically leverage underlying technology enhancements driven by emerging trends in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Smart connectivity, Cloud, Web 3.0 and more.
