The UAE initiative Future 100 honoured its third cohort of 100 companies on 9 October 2026 and opened registration and nominations for the next edition. The ceremony took place during Investopia Bridge in Abu Dhabi. The programme recognises companies in new-economy sectors and offers connections to partners, investors, expertise and markets.

Since launch, the initiative has recognised 300 companies from 3,395 applications, including 1,282 in the third cycle. Its partners have mobilised US$100 million in investment benefiting more than 53 participating companies, according to the organisers. The list spans 17 fields, including renewable energy, agri-tech, food technology, health technology, fintech and advanced manufacturing; these are programme coverage areas, not a ranking of sector performance.
