**Marking a Decade of Discreet Capital Formation and Intergenerational Agreements**
DUBAI, UAE — January XX, 2026 — The 29th Global Family Offices Investment Summit will be held on February 4 and 5, 2026, at the Mandarin Oriental Jumeira Dubai, commemorating the 10th anniversary of one of the world’s most influential private equity gatherings. Held under the patronage of Sheikha Jawaher Bint Khalifa Al Khalifa, this landmark event will welcome more than 300 family offices, entrepreneurs, private investors, and global leaders focused on long-term value creation.
Founded by Anthony Ritossa, the Summit Series was built on a guiding principle that has remained unchanged for a decade: to bring together visionary entrepreneurs and patient, intergenerational family capital in an environment designed for alignment. What began as an intimate gathering has grown into a global platform spanning three continents, facilitating meaningful relationships and significant investment activity in real estate, private equity, venture capital, technology, healthcare, sustainability, and infrastructure.
**From Conversations to Capital: Over $800 Million in Investment Activity**
The Summit’s impact is measured by its results, and at the November 2025 Miami Summit, over $800 million in investment activity emerged from conversations that began informally and often behind the scenes.
Among the most notable announcements, Pedro Guerra Alves revealed €500 million in financing for a major real estate development project in Portugal, underscoring the Summit’s role as a catalyst for large-scale capital deployments.
“This €500 million commitment to Portugal represents more than just capital; it represents a vision for longevity that will serve future generations. The Summit has taught me that true wealth is not built in crowded markets, but in discreet conversations with patient partners who think in terms of decades, not quarters,” said Pedro Guerra Alves, Founder of PGA Consultoria – Real Estate.
“Dubai has demonstrated what is possible when leadership prioritizes unity, progress, and opportunity,” said Sheikha Jawaher Bint Khalifa Al Khalifa. “This Summit reflects those values by creating a space of trust where families and entrepreneurs can collaborate with responsibility, purpose, and vision.”
**A Decade of Global Influence, Rooted in Dubai**
Reuniting in Dubai, where the Summit’s international footprint first gained momentum, holds special significance. Over the past decade, Dubai has emerged as a global crossroads for wealth, innovation, and long-term thinking, making it the natural home for a gathering dedicated to intergenerational impact.
“This Summit is a convergence of forward-thinking families and entrepreneurs committed to building sustainable value across generations. The depth of dialogue and the quality of relationships formed here continue to distinguish this gathering globally,” said Hadi Al Alawi, Chairman and CEO of Al Hayat Group.
“The 29th Global Family Office Summit in Dubai represents a culminating achievement for Anthony Ritossa and for every Summit attendee. The event is the ideal venue for high-level discussions on enriching family legacies, growing and preserving wealth, and sharing ideas. I look forward to welcoming my colleagues and friends from around the world to Dubai,” said Mohamed Al Ali, CEO of Al Ali Holding.
The 10th anniversary edition features a highly curated agenda of private roundtables, fireside chats, and exclusive, invitation-only investment discussions, complemented by exclusive receptions and the Family Office Lifetime Achievement Awards, which honor leaders who exemplify both business success and social responsibility.
“What makes this Summit truly distinctive is its emphasis on impact alongside investment,” said H.E. Claudia Pinto, Chief of Philanthropy and Sustainability and Advisor to H.H. Sheikh Marwan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. “It brings together families and leaders who understand that legacy is defined not only by financial returns, but by the positive change that capital can create in communities and across generations.”
**A Trusted Platform for Serious Capital**
For experienced investors and family offices, the Summit’s credibility lies in the caliber of the participants and the absence of transactional pressure.
“As a family office investor, I continue to be impressed by the concentration of decision-makers and the seriousness of the dialogue at this Summit,” said Brian MacMahon, Managing Partner of the Venture Capital arm of Nathan Family Office (Expert DOJO). “The event is about building relationships that lead to real investments and long-term partnerships.”
**Looking Ahead: The Next Chapter**
As the Summit enters its second decade, the focus remains firmly on the future and how family offices are deploying capital responsibly, supporting entrepreneurs globally, and shaping legacies that extend beyond financial returns.
“After ten years, what matters most are the relationships built quietly and maintained over time,” said Ritossa. “Dubai is the perfect place to honor that legacy and begin writing the next chapter.”
**Special Recognition**
**Dr. Luis Suárez**, in his role as Ambassador, wishes to express his deepest personal gratitude to **Anthony Ritossa** and the entire Summit organizing team for the exceptional honor bestowed upon him.
“Events like this are essential beacons that guide capital toward a higher purpose. Bringing together those who think about legacies, not just transactions, is the seed of sustainable progress for our economies and societies. It is an honor to be part of this ecosystem where vision and patience build the future,” stated **Dr. Luis Suárez**. For further news update whatsapp+919910248078
