Who We Are
VP Ventures is a UAE-based firm focused on helping GCC government, AEC and real estate leaders adopt the world’s best built environment solutions. Technologies that are already proven, scalable, and ready to deliver ROI from day one.
Where no mature solution exists to meet regional needs, we go further, incubating early stage solutions and purpose-built ventures for the built environment to solve high-impact problems from the ground up.
Founded by Phillip White, entrepreneur, construction veteran and former Entrepreneur in Residence at NEOM. VP Ventures brings deep expertise in deploying innovation across infrastructure, real estate, and the broader built environment.
Mission: To deploy global built environment technology that delivers real impact. Incubate early stage solutions or new ventures where no mature built environment solution exists to meet our clients needs.
Why Deployment Can Fail, and How We Fix It
Market Gaps
Global solutions often miss the mark in the Gulf, they’re not built for the region’s climate, economy, construction timelines, client expectations or regulations. We identify the best tech globally and bridge those gaps to deliver ROI here.
Local Fit
We don’t just import tech, we localize it. From compliance to implementation, we adapt global solutions to work with the realities of Gulf regulations, procurement, pricing and project workflows.
Execution Advantage
We act as an independent, on-ground operator, working alongside government, developers, and AEC firms to ensure smooth deployment with less risk, fewer delays, and faster results.
$Trillion+ Opportunity in GCC Built Environment
Massive Market Demand
The region’s $trillion construction boom has created urgent demand for technologies that solve critical on-ground challenges across built environment work flows.
Deployment-Ready Environment
With construction exceeding 10% of GDP and strong infrastructure investment, the Gulf is the ideal market for deploying mature, ROI-positive technology for the built environment.
Gov-Backed Adoption Programs
Governments are actively enabling technology adoption with regulatory reform, public-private pilots, and sandbox environments, creating clear pathways to scale.
