Featuring Kath Zagatti — M/HQ
For this edition, we welcome Kath Zagatti from M/HQ for a conversation on The Evolution of Private Capital.
As the UAE strengthens its position as a global private wealth hub, the role of family offices and sophisticated private capital is rapidly evolving. This session will explore what that shift means for investors, founders, and companies looking to raise and manage capital.
What we'll explore
The UAE as a global private wealth hub — what is driving the movement of capital, families, and investment structures to the region
The growing influence of family offices and how their investment strategies are evolving
Governance and long-term wealth planning in a changing private capital landscape
What sophisticated capital looks for when evaluating founders and companies
What entrepreneurs should understand before approaching family offices and institutional investors
The Format
The evening will include an introduction to M/HQ, its work and areas of focus, followed by a panel discussion with industry experts, an open audience Q&A, and networking.
Whether you're a founder preparing to raise, an investor navigating the region's evolving capital landscape, or simply looking to better understand how private wealth operates in the UAE, this session offers direct access to the people and perspectives shaping the ecosystem.
