The Centre will bring together global family-owned businesses, ultra-high net worth individuals (UHNWIs) and Private Wealth in one hub to help preserve and grow the sector and provide access to a full range of support services to enable robust legacy and succession planning. The Centre is also expected to attract family businesses and UHNWIs from the region and globally to establish a presence in Dubai.

Members will also benefit from being part of the region's largest financial ecosystem, DIFC's common law framework, legal and regulatory infrastructure and flexible range of business structures.

His Excellency, Essa Kazim, Governor of DIFC, said: "Aligning with the UAE Government's commitment to helping family businesses play a prominent role in our society, DIFC is pleased to be launching the world's first Family Business and Private Wealth Centre. The UAE has a vast number of family businesses, owned by citizens and residents who contribute to the country's economy. In the next decade, those families and others in the Middle East are expected to transfer AED3.67 trillion to the next generation, which illustrates the urgent need to provide them with specialist, consolidated support to help them grow."

Dr. Tarek Hajjiri, appointed CEO for the Global Family Business and Private Wealth Centre, added: "The launch of the Global Family Business and Private Wealth Centre is another key milestone in the development of DIFC's wealth and asset management sector. In addition, it embodies DIFC's long-term commitment to offering quality private wealth management services at par with global standards. The new Centre will play a unique role in guiding family businesses in relation to governance, succession, ownership, wealth, family dynamics and strategy. Our role is crucial to ensure the long-term growth of family businesses."
