Al-Matiyah Investment and Business Forum in Dubai, under influential patronage, convened global investors and entrepreneurs from nearly 50 nations to empower national SMEs through diverse cultural exchange and collaboration.
International: Al-Matiyah forum signals new dawn for SMEs. The forum’s primary objective was to build economic bridges connecting the Middle East with the world, presenting Dubai as a hub for entrepreneurial activity. This event not only emphasized Dubai’s strategic importance but also showcased the UAE as a hub for culture and commerce, poised to foster the development of the next generation of Emirati business leaders.
Under the auspices of notable personalities like Sheikh Faisal bin Obaid bin Suhail Al Maktoum, Ali bin Abdullah Al Mualla, Ammar bin Salem Al Qasimi, Sheikh Humaid bin Khalid Al Qasimi, His Excellency Awad Mohammed bin Sheikh Mejren, and His Excellency Dr. Juma Madani, the event signaled a new era in global economic cooperation.
Dr. Juma Madani, leading Al-Matiyah Investment, expressed the forum’s essence: “It transcends a mere conference; it’s a gathering of sheikhs, ambassadors, and business leaders worldwide, converging to cultivate a dynamic environment of enterprise and innovation.
In a significant development, Al-Matiyah Investment forged a strategic partnership with Petrus Bio Energy Do, a pioneering Brazilian company in sustainable agriculture and energy. This alliance underscores the forum’s dedication to global expansion and environmental stewardship.

Dubai is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the capital of the Emirate of Dubai, the most populated of the country’s seven emirates.
Established in the 18th century as a small fishing village, Dubai grew into a regional trading hub in the early 20th century and grew rapidly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries with a focus on tourism and luxury. It has the second-most five-star hotels in the world and boasts the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa, which is 828 metres (2,717 ft) tall.
In the eastern Arabian Peninsula, on the coast of the Persian Gulf, it is a major global transport hub for passengers and cargo. Oil revenue helped accelerate the development of the city, which was already a major mercantile hub.
Dubai has been a centre for regional and international trade since the early 20th century, and its economy relies on revenues from trade, tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial services. Oil production contributed less than 1 percent of the emirate’s GDP in 2018. The city has a population of around 3.60 million (as of 2022).
