- The Dubai Future District Fund (DFDF), backed by DIFC and Dubai Future Foundation, reported a successful 2024 at its Annual General Meeting, highlighting strategic growth and deeper alignment with Dubai’s economic vision. DFDF supported over 190 portfolio companies and raised more than $1.65 billion in capital commitments through direct investments and 12 Fund of Funds initiatives.
Beyond capital, DFDF played a key role in driving innovation through partnerships with government entities like Dubai Land Department and Dubai Health, and global players such as Nestlé and AWS. These efforts reflect DFDF’s commitment to combining financial return with real-world impact.
Looking ahead, DFDF will focus on community-driven innovation, in line with the UAE’s declaration of 2025 as the Year of the Community. Plans include expanded investments in ecosystem-building ventures and stronger collaboration across founders, investors, and regulators.
“2024 was a year where purpose met performance,” said DFDF Managing Director Nader Albastaki. “In 2025, we’re doubling down on collaboration to shape Dubai as a global hub for innovation.”
