Observing a 93% YoY growth in VC funding across the Emirates dispersed over only 2% more deals than same time last year, the investor activity in the UAE have been focused on later-stage deals and bigger capital pools. Of the many industries driving global and regional venture capital, it was FinTech and Transport & Logistics (T&L) that raised the largest portion of the funds, accounting for more than 50% of all capital raised by November 2021. This year, VC investors partook in larger rounds backing Tech disruptions and digital adoption, the likes of FinTech Tabby, T&L startup LyveGlobal, and Cloud Kitchen Tech startup Kitopi. Yet, major investors have been also engaged with the HR Tech solutions coming out of the region; backing startups like AI-powered Palm.HR the automated HR platform and Egypt-based Career180 recruitment platform.
