Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development
About Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development
Khalifa Fund was set up in Abu Dhabi in 2007 to support Emirati entrepreneurs and small businesses.
In 2026 it reorganised its financing into seven programmes, including a First-time Founders Loan for Emiratis starting out and an AI & Robotics Loan for SMEs adopting new technology. It also offers training, advisory and a membership programme for businesses that do not need funding.
