Gulf News and Aurex Privy Launch 'SheOwns' Platform to Empower Women in UAE Property
Gulf News and Aurex Privy have partnered to launch SheOwns, a new property platform and event series aimed at empowering women, including Emiratis and expatriates, in property ownership and investment within the UAE.
Gulf News and Aurex Privy have collaborated to introduce SheOwns, a new platform designed to enhance women's clarity, knowledge, and confidence in property ownership and investment in the UAE. The initiative's flagship event, "SheOwns | The Property Show," is scheduled for October 31, 2026, in Dubai, and will bring together developers, property experts, buyers, and investors.
The platform, supported by BeingShe, will focus specifically on Emirati women, expatriate women, and families, highlighting their role in property ownership, investment, and wealth creation within the UAE.
Developer Opportunities and Benefits
Participating real estate developers will have the opportunity to create selected purchase offerings for SheOwns attendees. These may include:
- Flexible payment structures
- Selected inventory privileges
- Fee concessions
- Upgrades and other preferential terms
These developer offerings will be subject to individual company policies and applicable regulations. The initiative also provides developers with visibility through Gulf News' print and digital channels, editorial features, and direct engagement with an investor audience.
Expanding the Ecosystem and Community
SheOwns extends beyond developers to include a broader ecosystem of relevant businesses such as banking and mortgages, home finance, insurance, interior design, technology, property services, and wealth management. This comprehensive approach aims to allow visitors to explore various aspects of property ownership and investment in one environment.
A key component of SheOwns is the development of an ongoing community for women property investors. This community will enable members to:
- Exchange knowledge and share experiences
- Build relationships with investors, property professionals, and developers
- Access property education and market insights
- Network with industry leaders and explore selected developer opportunities
An editorially supported real estate magazine edition will also be launched, featuring influential voices from the UAE real estate sector, including founders, owners, and CEOs of leading companies, to offer perspectives on investment, development, and the future of the UAE property market. This edition will also examine the growing influence of women investors and evolving buyer expectations.
