Empowering exceptional entrepreneurs by investing in high-growth, value-driven businesses.

CE-Ventures is the corporate venture capital platform of Crescent Enterprises, focusing on strategic investments in early- to late-stage high-growth companies and select venture funds globally. The platform was launched in 2017 and initially capitalised with $150 million to be invested by 2020, 50% of which is targeted towards the MENA region.

CE-Ventures targets start-ups that offer synergies with Crescent Enterprises’ operations across supply chain management tech, medical tech, enterprise software as a service (SaaS), and niche consumer emerging tech, among others. The platform focuses on wide-ranging emerging technologies pervasive across industry sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of things (IoT), and blockchain.

CE-Ventures partners with purpose-driven entrepreneurs and start-ups to catalyse disruptive technologies and generate long-term returns.

We invest in start-ups where we can add strategic value to the growth of the business by leveraging our operational experience and global market presence.
