Milestone for the strengthening of cooperation between Athens and Dubai
The Hyperfund/Growthfund welcomed a high-level delegation from Dubai Chambers, marking an important milestone for the further strengthening of bilateral cooperation between Athens and Dubai in the fields of investment, infrastructure and sustainable innovation.
Dubai Chambers represents a strong business network of over 292,000 active businesses, including SMEs and large companies, as well as family offices from a wide range of industries.
This network is the main business pillar of Dubai and is showing increasing interest in investing in Greece, in different sizes and sectors, including assets in the Supra Fund's portfolio.
The Dubai Chambers delegation was led by His Excellency Mr. Sultan Al Mansoori, Chairman, and His Excellency Mr. Mohamed Lootah, Chairman & CEO, accompanied by senior executives responsible for international relations, digital economy and international cooperation. The meeting was also attended by representatives of the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Athens, Eng. Mahrah AlShayah Al Ali and Mr. Ahmed Alkhateri.
Mr. Stefanos Theodorides, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Yannis Papachristou, CEO, as well as senior executives of the Investment and Investor Relations team attended on behalf of the Fund.
The meeting focused on infrastructure development opportunities, co-investment, as well as sustainable and innovative initiatives, in full alignment with Dubai Chambers' strategic objectives to promote cross-border investment and trade partnerships.
The discussions highlighted the role of Dubai Chambers as a catalyst for facilitating bilateral investment relations, through the interconnection of Greek businesses, public institutions and joint innovative initiatives - including AI-focused actions in the HyperTrust portfolio - with Dubai-based investors and partners. Particular emphasis was placed on priority sectors such as technology, supply chain, tourism, energy and the digital economy.
At the same time, Dubai Chambers presented its strategic priorities for cross-border investments, while the highlighting of selected projects of the Super Fund that can attract FDI and become a field of strategic cooperation of common interest was discussed. The cooperation is expected to proceed through direct contacts with investors, in the context of the planned roadshow of the Super Fund in the Middle East during the first quarter of 2026.
The Superfund presented its role as a national investment platform, managing a diversified portfolio of assets and investment opportunities across many sectors of the economy, with the aim of attracting UAE entities and investors and creating long-term value for the Greek economy. At the same time, the broader framework of cooperation to enhance the extroversion of Greek businesses and institutions to Middle Eastern markets was highlighted, with Dubai acting as a key gateway to the Gulf region.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Superfund, Mr. Stefanos Theodorides, said:
«Today's meeting with the leadership of Dubai Chambers confirms the strategic role of the Super Fund as an institutional pillar for the development of high value-added international partnerships. The strengthening of ties with Dubai creates strong prospects for co-investment and national infrastructure development, contributing substantially to sustainable growth and the international position of the Greek economy.».
The Managing Director of the Superfund, Mr. Yannis Papachristou, said:
«Our cooperation with Dubai Chambers opens new channels to connect the Greek economy with dynamic international investors and global markets. Growthfund acts as a bridge for strategic partnerships, synergies and investments in technology and innovation, creating long-term value for our portfolio and for the Greek economy.».
The Chairman of Dubai Chambers, Mr. Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori, said:
«This meeting reflects the momentum that is developing in the economic relations between Dubai and Greece. Non-oil trade between the two markets reached US$545.7 million in 2024, an increase of 13.7% annually, while by the end of 2025, 419 Greek companies had registered as active members of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce, recording an annual increase of 22.5%.
