Emirati fintech edutainment startup SouqView has launched an Arabic-first platform for simulated trading and financial education. The platform combines real market prices, structured lessons, and AI-powered guides. Users can practice trading without risking real money.
Award recognition
SouqView won the Fintech Sector Award at the 2nd Khalifa Fund Entrepreneurship Competition. The competition was organized by the Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development with the Sheikh Khalifa Excellence Award. The platform was developed under the Done by Youth initiative.
Founder and market focus
Founder Mohammed Al Nasri started SouqView after seeing people lose money in financial markets without understanding the risks. The company is based in Abu Dhabi, UAE. It is pursuing educational institution collaborations and sees opportunity across the GCC and wider MENA region.
How the platform works
SouqView offers 288 lessons across 49 learning units. Users can build virtual portfolios featuring UAE and US-listed companies. Prices are displayed in UAE dirhams by default.
SouqView is available now with free educational and simulated trading features. Educational institution collaborations are underway. The company aims to reach digitally engaged younger users across the GCC and wider MENA region.
