Equiti Group receives naming rights for Dubai metro station

DUBAI: Brokerage service provider Equiti Group has secured the naming rights of Dubai’s Umm Al Sheif metro station for 10 years from the emirate’s Road and Transport Authority. 

The station, which will be rebranded as Equiti metro station, operates on the Red Line of the Dubai metro network. Its strategic location offers easy connectivity to several key roads and iconic landmarks of Dubai.

Abdul Mohsen Ibrahim Kalbat, CEO of Rail Agency, RTA, said that “the naming rights for metro stations represent a rewarding investment opportunity for numerous companies and businesses in the UAE to promote their brands in Dubai.”

He said the partnership will enhance the confidence of major companies and investors in RTA’s projects in Dubai. “The partnership also showcases the role of this vital sector in achieving sustainable economic growth, through capital and investment injections in RTA’s development projects, particularly Dubai Metro,” added Kalbat.

The RTA will this month begin promoting the newly renamed Equiti metro station on exterior signboards, in smart and electronic systems of the public transport system, as well as by using voice announcements on metro trains, to familiarize passengers and station goers with the new name.

Abdulmohsin Al-Omran, founder and CEO of The Family Office, will deliver the opening remarks, with keynote addresses from Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman and Prince Turki Al-Faisal, chairman of the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies.

The press release said the event reflects the firm’s commitment to institutional discipline, selective investment strategies, and long-term planning that anticipates economic cycles.

The summit will bring together prominent international and regional figures, including former UK Treasury Commercial Secretary Lord Jim O’Neill, Mohamed El-Erian, chairman of Gramercy Fund Management, Abdulrahman Al-Rashed, chairman of the editorial board at Al Arabiya, Lebanese Minister of Economy and Trade Dr. Amer Bisat, economist Nouriel Roubini of NYU Stern School of Business, Naim Yazbeck, president of Microsoft Middle East and Africa, John Pagano, CEO of Red Sea Global, Dr. Anne-Marie Imafidon, MBE, co-founder of Stemettes, SRMG CEO Jomana R. Alrashed and other leaders in finance, technology, and investment.

With offices in Bahrain, Dubai, Riyadh, and Kuwait, and through its Zurich-based sister company Petiole Asset Management AG with a presence in New York and Hong Kong, The Family Office has established a reputation for combining institutional rigor with innovative, long-term investment strategies.

The “Investing Is a Sea” summit underscores Saudi Arabia’s growing role as a global center for financial dialogue and strategic investment, reinforcing the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 objective of fostering economic diversification and sustainable development.
