Inspired by the legacy of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan and the vision of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister & Ruler of Dubai, FORSA was created to encourage women to invest in and benefit from the growth of the country and region.
FORSA is a premium investment company and is run as a private commercial enterprise under the Dubai World portfolio of companies. It is registered as a Limited Liability Corporation with the Government of Dubai.
FORSA is the Arabic word for 'opportunity' and encapsulates the very essence of the company—providing women with sophisticated investment and business opportunities.
In a region where women are becoming increasingly involved in investments and entrepreneurship, FORSA was founded to further their participation in its economy and business. The company ushers in a unique, first of its kind integrated platform that offers women opportunity to invest and supports female entrepreneurship.
FORSA provides the opportunity to co-invest primarily to the growing bank of high net worth women in the region. This includes offering them the opportunity to invest in the region's booming economic development and empowering them to realize their business aspirations by providing them access to professional expertise.
FORSA is geared to invest in specific investment opportunities aligned with the growth sectors most significantly contributing to the region's GDP. FORSA also supports female entrepreneurship by providing venture capital for female-led or female-oriented businesses.
Primarily all ultra high net worth women can invest in FORSA investment funds with minimum investment requirements. All minors will require an 18+ guardian, as mandated by law.
Venture capital is currently only provided to female-led or female-oriented businesses originated and based in Dubai.
