Regional Program

Anfal's regional venture capital and growth equity program is dedicated to fostering innovation and growth across the MENA region, with a particular focus on Saudi Arabia and the UAE and GCC.

Aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, we aim to support transformative businesses and sectors contributing to the Kingdom's economic diversification. Additionally, we are committed to the region’s evolution as a global investment hub, tapping into its dynamic ecosystem of innovation and entrepreneurship.


Our approach emphasizes building close, strategic relationships with leading fund managers across the region. Beyond fund investments, the program allocates a significant portion to direct investments and co-investments alongside our trusted partners.Direct investments are carefully selected, with a potential strategic alignment to AZAQ’s operating companies, enabling us to create synergies that drive both operational and financial value. Through this program, Anfal seeks to empower regional champions and create lasting impact within our core markets.

Anfal’s regional private credit strategy aims to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns while addressing the significant funding gap faced by SMEs across the MENA region.
