Strategic Gateway
Why the UAE — and why now
The UAE offers companies access to:
Predictable Business Environment
A predictable business environment and world-class infrastructure
Regional Market Access
The MENA regional market and global logistics chains
Accelerated Entry
Accelerated entry into new segments through local partnerships
Welcome to UAE was created as a gateway platform for companies that require not an "agent," but an institutional partner and systematic, long-term support.
Leadership
Who is behind the platform
Al Wazan Group (Abu Dhabi) is a diversified group operating across key sectors of the economy, including energy, oil & gas, sustainability, and technology.
The platform is developed under the strategic leadership of Mohamed Naser Hamdan Al Zaabi, Executive Chairman of Al Wazan Group and Chairman of Al Nasser (AlNser) Holding — a leader with extensive experience at the intersection of business and national economic development initiatives.
Approach: scaling companies through the UAE as a base for expansion into the wider regional market.
Our philosophy: not an agency, but a strategic partnership
We do not sell "representation."
We build shared growth.
The seriousness principle (skin in the game): companies enter the UAE as a long-term commitment, investing in local presence, teams, and development. This sharply reduces random or opportunistic interest and ensures engagement only from companies genuinely prepared to scale.
Selection Criteria
Who Welcome to UAE is for

Ideas without products, "pilots for the sake of pilots," or projects lacking commercial validation.
