Venture Capital
We coordinate to maximize synergies as we seek to meet the needs of the new enterprises as they transition from R&D to viable and sustainable economic entities. We participate in managing and guiding companies in terms of board representation, assisting in potential business development in international markets, as well as ensuring that collaboration with R&D centers is available when required.
TAQNIA International creates, manages, and advises a variety of funds. One of the funds being advised is The Riyad Taqnia Fund (RTF).
Research, Development & Industrialization
Bridging the commercialization gap that is currently hindering the transformation of suitable R&D into successful enterprises is what TAQNIA International is setting out to do. TAQNIA International has a unique strategic approach to science and technology investments that sets it apart from other firms. We go beyond simply investing in a company or idea. Instead we collaborate in R&D initiatives, giving them the opportunity to further develop their technologies through joint ventures in R&D with top research centers.

At TAQNIA International we are not just investing in a company, we are investing in science and technology as a whole, and its development through collaborative efforts and R&D initiatives that will help transform an idea or a startup’s technology further and allow it the opportunity to compete in the global market upon commercialization. It is TAQNIA International’s unique characteristic of having strategic ties with these research centers that sets it apart from other firms. Not only will companies benefit from collaborative R&D efforts, but working alongside research centers in different parts of the world allows access to experts, technical support, and business development for their technologies in overseas markets. In essence, TANQIA International connects its investment companies in more ways than one! To aid in this initiative, TANQIA International is working alongside these research centers to invest in new ventures that can then be developed. We aim to invest in the strategic outputs of research and applied economic programs between startups and research organizations or individual initiatives, including:

TAQNIA International extends beyond R&D collaboration with its portfolio companies. We also give our companies unique exit strategies that can lead to the successful commercialization of their technologies through industrialization. By establishing global industries with its portfolio companies, TAQNIA International is not only partnering up with its portfolio companies in the production of their technologies, but allowing their businesses to grow and penetrate the global market. Because our global reach extends between North America, the Middle East, Europe and Asia, this enhances such possibilities and their successes.
