DUBAI: GEMS School of Research & Innovation, the latest premium addition to Dubai’s thriving education sector, is already witnessing strong early enrolments, signaling robust demand for high-quality academic institutions in the UAE.

The Izdihar Real Estate Fund’s investment focuses on the property aspect of the project and underscores the growing institutional interest in the education sector.

The move reflects a growing pattern of regional and global financial commitments in the sector. In recent years, GEMS Education has attracted major investments from global fund manager Brookfield and Dubai-based Gulf Islamic Investments (GII), while also expanding into higher-end segments with campuses boasting some of the highest school fees in the UAE.
