About

Based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development (Khalifa Fund) was established by the government of the emirate of Abu Dhabi in 2007. The fund primarily supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in UAE. The fund’s financing programs include the following: “Khutwa,” which offers “flexible loans” to women and retirees; “Bedaya,” which supports start-up SMEs; “Zeyada,” which supports early-stage SMEs; “Tasneea,” which supports industrial SMEs; “Zaarie,” which supports agricultural SMEs; and “Al Hasela,” which provides financial and technical support to fishermen. In collaboration with the National Bank of Abu Dhabi, the fund also offers funding for SMEs from a private equity fund called “Mubadarat.”
