Namaa
From green idea to funding-ready.
Namaa (Arabic for growth) is a free website, in Arabic and English, that takes a UAE green entrepreneur from a first idea to funding-ready. It scores the idea against an expert readiness checklist. It writes a professional one-page pitch in Arabic and English. And it points the founder to the UAE support organisation that fits their stage and sector.
The problem it tackles is finding the way, not money. The UAE has made the green economy a national goal through We the UAE 2031 and Net Zero 2050, and many incubators, funds and government programmes exist to back it. Small founders still struggle to reach them. Their ideas are not weak. They cannot present their idea in a funding-ready way, and they do not know which door to knock on.
One rule guides the product: we prepare, we never fund. No money moves through Namaa. Every organisation it recommends comes from a checked map of real UAE programmes, reviewed by people. The system is not allowed to invent a programme, an amount or a contact.

From green idea to funding-ready.
Namaa carries a UAE green entrepreneur from a raw idea to funding-ready, in Arabic or English. It prepares the founder; it never funds.
What we do
- 01Questions
Guided questions, in either language
The founder describes the idea, its stage and its needs by answering guided questions in Arabic or English. No need to know what a pitch is.
- 02AI score
A readiness score
The idea is scored on seven weighted areas and placed on a 0–100 readiness scale. Each area shows the specific gaps and the next step to close them.
- 03Pitch page
A one-page pitch in two languages
A complete one-page pitch is written in both languages, tagged with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Vision 2031, ready to print or send.
- 04Match
The right door in the UAE
Matches to the incubators, agencies and national programmes that fit the founder's stage and sector, each with the reason it was chosen.
Main project
The readiness score
Seven weighted areas run from how clear the problem is and the green impact, through the business model and fit with policy, to how ready the pitch is. Scoring depends on the stage, so a student with an idea and a small business that wants to grow are each measured against what their own stage needs.
