Process & Timelines

Luca Barbi

This is moving the mentality of investors also. Before, we were suspicious of an early-stagecompany in multiple markets. Now it'sbecoming more normal. So, from the investment side- there is less skepticism.

Dr. Najla Aldookhi

Given UAE’s position & role in the global economy, it was essential to evolve identity and residency policies in line with the dynamics of the geo-economic landscape.

Shaloo Garg

Never take ‘no’ sitting down, always lead with consensus

Abdallah Abu-Sheikh 

Success does not come overnight.

Giles

For us to truly achieve the potential of technology and innovation, data has to be borderless and freely Available.

Anita Rehman

DGEMS represents the crossroads of ambition & innovation. It’s where bold ideas meet the pragmatism needed to drive real change.

Maisy Ng

We also need to talk about the need to be able to pivot because I’ve never invested in a startup that started with Plan A that actually went ahead with Plan A. Generally, they go through more letters of the alphabet.

Deep Singhania

Companies who want to go global need to be operationally mature to go into multiple markets…..If the TLV and the CAC of a company isn't 3:1, then the ability to globalise and sustain in newer markets becomes tough.

Deepak Jayaraman

Founders that want to build a global business have to understand that this is a pretty volatile journey, it's not easy to build a business like this and you need to have that resilience and grit, a base of foundational principles to lead people on that journey.

Nakul Zaveri

Impact is across the spectrum; there is impact which is delivered by philanthropic capital; then there is some impact that is delivered by commercial capital, but those businesses will have to scale. Our business is not to only drive impact, our business is to drive profit, with impact.
