Munich, July 7^th , 2021 – FCF Life Sciences, a business unit of FCF Corporate Finance GmbH (“FCF”), is expanding its presence in the United Arab Emirates. The Munich-based company has concluded a cooperation agreement with DACH Advisory, a finance and investment company headquartered in Dubai. “This partnership is a major step for our clients,” said Dr. Mathias Schott, Director of FCF Life Sciences. According to Schott, collaboration with DACH Advisory gives German and European life sciences companies a way to gain the attention of investors from the Arab region.

DACH Advisory employs 40 people at its headquarters in Dubai and offices in Vienna and Moscow. In the past ten years, it has completed transactions with a volume of 7 billion dollars for its clients. Zaid Maleh, Chief Executive Officer of DACH Advisory, was very pleased about the partnership.

Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are seeing increased interest in European biotechnology among local investors. We look forward to working with FCF.”
