Fiker Institute Launches Partnership with OPUS

On the evening of 24th April, Fiker Institute and OPUS announced the launch of their partnership at Fiker Institute’s Library. The gathering welcomed regional and global business leaders to the occasion. OPUS Board Member, Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice of York, addressed guests alongside Oliver Christian, British Consul General to Dubai and HM Trade Commissioner for the Middle East and Pakistan.

OPUS is partnering with Fiker Institute to promote international action and intellectual discourse among the memberships of both organizations. Together, through a joint program of events and experiences, Fiker and OPUS will further their collective missions, bringing the UK and UAE’s leading business builders into important, collectively curated policy conversations.

Dubai Abulhoul, Founder & CEO of Fiker Institute, commented on the partnership: “Fiker Institute’s partnership with OPUS today represents not just a collaboration, but a shared vision to empower entrepreneurs as architects of change, steering us towards a collective future where global challenges are met with innovative and context-driven solutions, and where the power of business becomes a beacon for sustainable progress.”

Commenting on the launch, HRH Princess Beatrice, who has proudly supported OPUS since its inception in the UK said: “As the world continues to speed up, especially in the advent of new technologies, it is important to remember that relationships are at the core of any success story. Our mission to connect builders and unlock opportunity is right at the heart of that philosophy, and I believe the creation of a community of entrepreneurs who are keen to help each other will only further catalyse the UAE’s extraordinary story.”

Oliver Christian, British Consul General to Dubai and HM Trade Commissioner for the Middle East and Pakistan, added: “Connecting innovators, thought leaders and entrepreneurs in the UK and the UAE is a truly exciting proposition, and OPUS’s ambition to deepen the already strong ties between our nations is an endeavour I support and applaud.”

OPUS Chair & Founder, Sam Tidswell-Norrish, said of the launch and partnership: “OPUS and I are deep believers in the power of partnership. The launch of OPUS with our friends at Fiker Institute is a testament to that, and our team is laser-focused on unlocking as much opportunity between our members as possible. The UAE is simply remarkable, and we are unwaveringly committed to playing our role in its progress as we seek to create the centre of gravity in the region for business builders, and we will work tirelessly on behalf of our members to earn that position.”
