A Hub for Entrepreneurial Growth and Investment Opportunities

A Hub for Entrepreneurial Growth and Investment Opportunities

Investopia's central goal was to establish an investment community and hub for exceptional prospects in emerging economies. To advance this mission, we proudly introduced the debut of our Venture Marketplace at Investopia 2023.

 

This marketplace convened startups, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists, providing them a platform to showcase their achievements, engage in thought-provoking discussions centered on the startup realm, and showcase their investment plans and priorities for the near future. Investopia 2023 designated a space for the Venture Marketplace, which focused on 3 key activities: sharing success stories in entrepreneurship, exploring insights from the regional startup ecosystem, and showcasing venture capital talks. These activities provided a platform for entrepreneurs, SMEs, and venture capitalists to share knowledge, network, and advance the growth of the startup ecosystem.

Faciliating Capital Flow by Matching Allocators with a Diverse Range of Fund managers

In line with Investopia’s purpose to bring together stakeholders from across the investment ecosystem and to facilitate the creation of investment opportunities, Investopia 2023 introduced a new Capital Introduction activity, in partnership with iConnections, to connect a global network of allocators with a diverse range of fund managers to facilitate the proper flow of capital.

 

How does it work?

  1. Step 1: Managers provide complete profiles that can be filtered on the iConnections platform, beginning with high-level data such as structure and strategy, and honing down to the details such as Sharpe ratio and social focus
  2. Step 2: Allocators then reach out, through the platform, to managers that seem to fit them best based on their investment preferences and the needs of their portfolio
  3. Step 3: The meetings are only confirmed once both sides agree to take the meeting at Investopia 2023 in Abu Dhabi on March 2-3, 2023.
  4. Step 4: Once the meeting is confirmed, iConnections has proprietary optimization technology that will match your requested meetings to build out a schedule

Reimagining Regional Economic Development Through Finance

The world is committed to achieving full-scale decarbonization, but history has shown that economic growth is typically correlated with higher greenhouse gas emissions.
