Startups & Scaleups

Client Ventures

#PwCVenturesME

Entrepreneurs are essential agents of change. The world needs three things to solve its most critical problems; a massive infusion of innovation at headlong pace; a huge number of successful and inclusive new businesses to help to change the world for the better; and action that drives wealth and impacts locally to reduce disparities, while having the potential to scale up globally.

Only with a massive upsurge of start-ups – supported by like-minded VCs – can all of this be delivered. It is a human-led and tech-powered future. This is a global need, it will be vital to encourage entrepreneurship in places where support systems currently don’t exist.

There is substantial evidence that accelerators, incubators, corporate innovators and government-led initiatives play an essential role in the growth of companies. At PwC Ventures, across 22 offices across 12 countries  in the Middle East we bring to bear our expertise as one firm to partner & accelerate disruptive emerging businesses in our mission to solve important problems.

Launch a corporate venture capital fund (CVC)

Some companies future gaze to anticipate disruption in their industry. Others take action through corporate innovation. Corporate venture capital (CVC)  is an innovation activity which can provide both financial yields and strategic returns.

The latter enables companies to access future technologies, digital talent and expertise through identifying, collaborating and investing in startups to innovate.

We help clients seize opportunities arising from investing in innovative startups to secure your ability to thrive in the future.

For companies seeking to establish or invest in CVC, PwC’s flagship  EMEA CVC centre of excellence works in partnership with our Middle East PwC experts; advising clients on culture, strategy, structure and process.
