Global partnerships · Free zones · Economic-development entities · Institutions
The infrastructure that connects your zone, your programme or your market to the right investors and founders.
I partner with free zones, economic-development entities and institutions across the Gulf and globally — bringing a mapped, cross-border network of investors and founders to their programmes, and a credible media channel to reach it.

Why free zones and EDBs work with the platform.
A qualified network, not a mailing list.
Access to a 3,000+ investor network and a 6,700+ founder community — people mapped by stage, sector and geography, and roughly 70% met in person.
Two-way dealflow and referrals.
Founders looking to land in your zone or market, and investors looking for programmes to back — routed both ways through KH Group 7's consultancy and the ventures.
A media channel that carries your message.
Your programme, grant or initiative amplified through the Katerina Hayes platform — podcast, newsletter and a 13,500+ community — so the right audience actually hears it.
On-the-ground credibility.
Direct connections and mapped decision-makers for pilots, investment and government programmes, Gulf-to-global and global-to-Gulf.
Knowledge-to-market infrastructure.
For governments and institutions: we design the machinery that turns research into exportable ventures — national IP assessment, proof-of-concept and translational acceleration, investment-readiness programmes, blended-finance instruments, and internationally certified tech-transfer capacity building. The missing link between a country's labs and its markets.

Questions institutions ask.
What kinds of organisations do you partner with?
Free zones, economic-development and investment-promotion entities, government and semi-government programmes, and institutions supporting entrepreneurship and investment.
How is this different from KH Group 7's services?
KH Group 7 delivers market-entry and corporate services to companies. A partnership is a standing relationship between your institution and the platform — co-branded programmes, referrals and media reach — not a project engagement.
Can partnerships run in both directions — into the Gulf and out of it?
Yes. The network and partner base are built to move founders and investors both ways.
